Few Pills and a Good Brisk Walk, A
- Synopsis
- Shakespeare’s famous line-up from As You Like It is newly explored for the 1980s in a series of seven documentary films written and presented by Ronald Eyre. Each episode deals with a different stage of life as it is lived from 1 to 100.
Episode 5: "And then, the justice, / In fair round belly ..." (III.i. 153-154). Rough ride from 40 to 55. Doubt behind certainty. The wobble on the tightrope. Painful days on the hook of the question mark. What’s called mid-life crisis. - Series
