"It's only in the last scenes, where he woos the deliciously dithered French princess (Valerie Rigsbee) that we see the kind of winning performance that Miller [as Henry V] is capable of giving...In the end, we come away appreciating the heroic tableaus, but remembering the lighter scenes with the bragging Frenchmen, the rapscallion soldiers, the English-fracturing French ladies and some of the elegiac narratives." -'Once more unto Shakespeare's epic Henry V' by David Hawley, "The Pioneer Press" February 12, 2008
