The earlier radio version (also with Fiennes) is complete, four hours and 17 minutes. This is an actual performance cut to three hours plus five minutes.

He was an amazing actor when he was young.

Great movie. Read the play returning from a class trip in high school, bought the film on Ebay, loaned it to a friend who forgot to give it back when she moved out of town and then died. Great to be able to see it again!

LOVE the old theatre productions. Thank you so much for uploading.

I watched the late, GREAT Pete O'Toole play Jack Tanner in the early 80's. Never been able to find the recording but with Indira and Ralph, I'm sure they will do this wonderful play justice.

This acting company needs to do a three part film, so they can read the play in its entirety, because they preformed this incredible play so well!

This is a brilliant production! It's very rare to see Man and Superman performed in its entirety, along with the third act, a.k.a. Don. Juan in Hell. Fantastic dialogue there, especially by the Devil

greatest genius to ever live in my opinion, the master

Could not find this anywhere...thanks for posting.

Beah is absolutely regal. Came looking for more information about her after seeing her in "Guess Who's Coming To Dinner" and found this absolute treasure trove of a documentary. Bless you for posting this, and bless that remarkable actress who documented these conversations so that her radiance and power could be witnessed by us all.

41:18

I love witnesses who praise.

You got brownstone planet groove i been trying to find that

Great Good

2:00 The very Genius Prokofiev was born in Sontsovka, RUSSIAN EMPIRE, remember that well. Not any "ukrain" till 1918, or it should be said "actual ukrain"... Abbandoned this bsht on that precise point!😊🎉

Baapre baap itna mast acting 🙏🙏🙏, I fell in Love with the Choti Behen, Her Eyes are so Deep 😍😘

Talk about somebody ahead of his time!!! His message was too sophisticated/advanced for his time, and today it screams like a fire alarm in a fire station.

J.B. has a profound understanding re the historical portrayal of Black men in the USA. He is lost when it comes to Black women...despite a brief tribute to Maya and Toni....as he shows when discussing The Colour Purple. He does not want to 'know' that side of things in modern USA.

Thank you for this excellent documentary They don’t make them like that anymore

The calmness in this performance is what makes this so great. She just knew those notes will come out effortlessly. Love Ms. Badu

😍😍😍

Yes.

This is our time: financial collapse and wars and the dry rot of our cities--. Watch Paradise Lost and see how America nearly "lost" itself once before.

And they're all wearing their own clothes.

I LOVE THIS ELEGANT, BEAUTIFUL LADY! MAY THE CREATOR CONTINUE TO BLESS HER BEAUTIFUL, SPIRITUAL, DIVINE SOUL!

I LOVE THIS BEAUTIFUL LADY! MAY THE CREATOR CONTINUE TO BLESS HER BEAUTIFUL, DIVINE SOUL!

thanx to share this great performance ❤❤❤❤❤❤

Very enjoyable, but I'm disappointed they chose to cut some of funniest parts of the original dialogue. Would have love to see RF recite them.

This is GREAT! I have never seen or heard of this before! Thank you for posting this in KZbin.

Beautiful ❤ thanks for sharing!

Bhavnao ko samajh na mishkil hoya hai

Till this day his words ring true that to be a conscious WOKE black man or woman in this country can be frustrating and could drive you mad if you let it! I was born in 1983 in Manhattan New York and when my husband introduced me to his writings and his work so many years down the road it opened so many doors for me mentally I grew up indoctrinated in the Jehovah's Witness religion and that religion taught you not to concern yourself with social injustice that God would fix it all, meaning don't question what they teach you do not be a critical thinker so much so that my parents fell to educate us on our American descendants of slavery lineage that an hour and a half away from where we grew up in North Carolina my great-great-grandfather Peter Jones was sold not once but twice at a slave market that still stands in Fayetteville North Carolina also my grandfather my mother's father was the son of a white Dillon South Carolina Sheriff he was conceived through sexual assault breaking out of that indoctrination was also a beautiful thing my husband was born in 1947 Vietnam veteran and part of CORE which was a youth group that fought for civil rights and face many things that Mr Baldwin did as well such as being harassed and civil rights being violated buy New York police in the streets of New York in Brooklyn by doing in-depth Research into Mr Baldwin's work it taught me never to fit into anyone's box but do my own research and come to my own conclusion for truth will never expire it will forever be the highest form of currency always in this imperfect world no matter how they try to whitewash it!

How fun is this? Didn't know they'd taped it. I saw this in 1966 at the Huntington Hartford Theater with Wallach and Jackson - this was the first of two one-acts, the second being The Tiger, which they turned into a terrible movie, taking a two-character play and adding about thirty other characters.

❤❤❤❤❤

I'm so confused! These people have terrors and they show up at their door?

In this video, I hear the Boston accent of my neighborhoods growing up there. This explains why some of these questions betray the stubbornly uneducated bigoted mindset of "the Mississippi of the North". Yeah...Boston

I wanted to watch this play, but stopped, because I did not like the fact that the play director used a modern swivel chair instead of an appropriate vinatge chair. I also did not like the modern dress of the girl who announced Tanner's arrival. I think an old drama should be played in such a set design that reflects the time period of the drama as best as possible. May be others like to watch modern and old fusion, but I do not like it. I want to see & hear a drama in its original form as much as possible.

Baldwin is described by most men of letters and critics as the greatest essayist of the second half of the 20th century.

Beautiful documentary. What a life of purpose! ❤

No tengo palabras suficientes para ensalzar su buenisima actuacion

Ms. Queen Beah, was in “In The Heat of The Night”, and “Guess Who’s Coming To Dinner” as well as other movies. These two movies Sidney Poitier appeared in as well.

I can tell you some of her movie she play on the miracle worker sandford and son

I enjoyed it.

Execelent 🎉🎉🎉

One of the greatest orators ever

Funny how the writer of the documentary and Stravinsky end up looking like bullshit flies or something like it while Profofiev remains a great artist with a force-of-nature-like personality. And his first wife was a foreigner (born in Spain) with friends in the american embassy. I'm not supporting her arrest by any mean but in Stalin's time people got killed for less, she had some tough years but survived. The fact that their children held their father in high regard says a lot

How sad only 18k views in 5 years posted.

Epic film, thank you so much

I am watching because of Paul Schofield but have discovered this is poor Albee trying to knock your socks off with his intellect, but not true to life, all the actors overacting to try and showcase their inteect too, as well as some of the commentators here. Oh dear, all of them so pretentious, and the arts world outdoing each other with fulsome praise. Sorry Albee, you really don't have any idea of how to add to the world's treasures.
