Macbeth is a 1960 television film adaptation of William Shakespeare's Macbeth. This, the second Hallmark Hall of Fame series teleplay of the play, was, like the 1954 live telecast, also directed by George Schaefer, and again starred Maurice Evans and the Australian-born Judith Anderson. The supporting cast, however, was different, consisting entirely of British actors, and was filmed on location in Scotland; the 1954 version had used a mostly American cast.
Filmed in color, the program was described in a contemporary publication as the "[m]ost expensive TV show of all time, costing $1,200,000."
Internationally, this version was treated as a feature film, and was released theatrically in Europe. It was entered into the 11th Berlin International Film Festival.
This television film won five Primetime Emmy Awards at the 13th annual award ceremony, held in 1961.
