Actors look flawless.. You know I love you but you live on a different planet. Zeffirelli's movie was in color. Quote
Guest hitoallusa Posted February 11, 2013 Posted February 11, 2013 Are you sure, my dear? http://www.imdb.com/media/rm339063040/nm0926013 Quote
AdamSmith Posted February 11, 2013 Posted February 11, 2013 Well, I just pulled out my old videotape copy and popped it into the player, out of curiosity, and it is in color. Quote
Guest hitoallusa Posted February 11, 2013 Posted February 11, 2013 Maybe color was added later? Or what I see in just fan generated black and white pics??? Quote
Guest hitoallusa Posted February 11, 2013 Posted February 11, 2013 I can't believe he exposed his butt in 1968??? It had not created any controversies then??? Quote
AdamSmith Posted February 11, 2013 Posted February 11, 2013 Have you never even seen the thing? Go rent it! A fairly bad schmaltzing-up of the Bard's already fairly schmaltzy thing, but gorgeous to look at and listen to. Zeffirelli was superficial but with a sense of surface, light, sound to die for. I suppose you have not seen "Death in Venice" either. If not, go rent that one too. Post-haste! Quote
AdamSmith Posted February 11, 2013 Posted February 11, 2013 P.S. Death in Venice was of course Visconti. Same criticisms apply. Quote
Guest NCBored Posted February 11, 2013 Posted February 11, 2013 I remember seeing this when it first came out - I was 18 and it was a revelation to see actual young people in the roles. It brought the play alive for me in a way that readings and 'mature' performers never had. It was indeed in color and the butt-shot was fairly brief (but still impactful ) I'm somewhat appalled to see that Whiting and I were born on the same day. I prefer to remember him as he was then.
