Please consider subscribing to our channel - kzbin.info New Film adaptation - MISANTHROPOS - www.misanthropos.net - Timon of Athens - Shakespeare on Film! Adapted by Maximianno Cobra, from Shakespeare's "Timon of Athens", the film exposes the timeless challenge of social hypocrisy, disillusion and annihilation against the poetics of friendship, love, and beauty.

I remember my elation when I first knew of the discovered copy of this program, coupled with the disappointment of its inaccessibility. This needs a DVD release!

Zeffirrelli directed this " much ado..." at the national theatre at the old vic in the 60s. Albert Finney, Maggie, Robert Stephens Derek Jacobi Frank Finlay and Leonard Whiting and Michael York as walk on. Some of them would appear in the " romeo and juliet " film .

Maggie Smith had a nasal quality to her voice, which allowed her to convey irony so well.

Before this video, the whole production was recorded for RCA Victor records. I love what she does, but now I have learned she was doing a Kenneth Williams imitation - the personification of archness. So much the better!

Heard it once many years ago in a library. Haven't been able to find it since.

I don't know if he appears in this clip, but future Prof. Dumbledore Michael Gambon also appeared in this telecast.

“Four of his five wits went limping off…” We heard Dame Maggie’s Shakespearean schooling to the end. Easily a line the Dowager could have delivered with even more relish. 😂 Miss her already. 💔

You know you are old when you have seen the original stage production! It was very colourful, though the girls had oddly plain dresses, and they all drank a lot of red crinkled cellophane paper. Funny how the details stick, and not much else...
