Coriolanus: The People’s Choice
- Synopsis
- Educational series. One in a twelve-part series of films made by the Ontario Educational Communications Authority (now TV Ontario). The aim was to relate ‘Shakespeare’s timeless ideas and understanding of human motivations to contemporary society’.

It demonstrates that for a politician to be a successful popular leader he must be an actor, even at the cost of his own self-respect’ .
