There’s a video of highlights from four Chinese films and stage performances of Hamlet, Lear, and Romeo and Juliet.

It’s from “That’s Entertainment,” and as for the play: it’s the one named after the character who is described, in the chorus of a three-minute musical abridgment of the play, as

“[NAME], [NAME], actin’ balmy
[NAME], [NAME], loves his mommy.”

And from later in the song:

“And when [NAME] killed Polonius, the concealed corpus delecti
Was the King’s excuse to send him for an English hempen necktie.”
