- Reviews
- `The production itself was only average and comes over as very poor in a badly lit and badly recorded film that uses none of the resources of cinema for a play that demands them...one applauds the initiative but it is hard to see why they bothered’ (McKernan & Terris, Walking Shadows: Shakespeare in the National Film and Television Archive. (London: bfi, 1994), p166.
