Much Ado About Nothing - Early Appearance - Maggie Smith - 1967 - Franco Zeffirelli - 4K

Описание: Shakespeare Network Educational Programme - SN Audio-Visual Archives - Dame Maggie's 1967 portrayal of the playful debutante Beatrice in the cheerful Much Ado About Nothing is thought to be the earliest British television broadcast of the whole play. But the screen version of the famed National Theatre production by Italian director Franco Zeffirelli was assumed a lost treasure missing from the BBC’s archives. That was until a copy was discovered in the Library of Congress in Washington DC in 2010.

Televised adaptation based on a National Theatre stage, starring real-life married couple Maggie Smith and Robert Stephens as Beatrice and Benedick.
