  • Esta produo para a tev americana tem pssima transferncia de imagem e se beneficia apenas da tour de force de Olivier. No entanto, longa e cansativa demais.

    All the actresses are brilliant and the play is well filmed but it would all be for naught if not for Olivier's astounding performance.

    It's good. I like Brian Blessed's Lear better.
