A filmed record was created by recording three live performances on camera from June 30 to July 1 using a process called Electronovision and then editing them into a single film.
Because Burton disliked wearing period costumes, and for aesthetic reasons of his own, Gielgud conceived of a production performed in a “rehearsal” setting with an incomplete set and the actors wearing what appeared to be street clothes (although the costumes were actually the result of continuous trial-and-error in rehearsals, with the actors bringing in countless variations of attire for Gielgud to consider). Gielgud also opted to depict the Ghost as a shadow against the back of the stage wall, voicing the character himself on tape (since he was unavailable while the production was in performance).
The production was a financial smash, achieving the longest run for the play in Broadway history at 137 performances, which broke the previous record set by Maurice Evans's GI Hamlet in the 1940s.

02:05No. Judgment.
02:06A hit. A very palpable hit.
02:11Another hit.
02:12A touch. A touch, I do confess.
02:13Our son shall win.
