- Reviews
- McKernan, Luke and Olwen Terris. Walking Shadows: Shakespeare in the National Film and Television Archive. London: BFI, 1994 (p.162-3). ‘A delightful, skilful and adroitly simple interpretation ... The play is judiciously handled, the titles alone a model of simple clarity (see opening essay where they are given in full). For its time, this is a model Shakespeare film’.
