If you have (or know someone who will give you access to theirs) a netflix account, you can view the 1980 version starring Derek Jocobi & Patrick Stewart online for free. http://www.netflix.com/WatchNowMovie/Shakespeare_Tragedies_Hamlet/70015622?trkid=203083
True it's not Olivier, but if you need to watch it now and you do have access then it will do in a pinch :-) There are many versions of Hamlet (Branagh, Gibson, Burton, Kline, Houston, etc), I say to each his own.
The library will even have at least 2 or 3 of these to check out.
good luck finding one,
Marianne

There are recordings of various performaces, the Olivier (pronounced OH live EE AY) movie should be available as a rental.
