 | Oedipus The King -- Part 2/12 Part of "Oedipus the King" from 1984 TV production with Michael Pennington, Claire Bloom and John Shrapnel. Translated and directed by the lateDon Taylor.for part 1, go here:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WtMHltBFqlohere's a playlist with all these Oedipus videos in order:http://www.youtube.com/view_play_list?p=422B4AD5E82BE89Ago here to view documentary on Tragedy in Ancient Greek Theatre:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rkaMaeHNSR8from John O'Connor's review in New York Times (1988):Mr. Marks [producer] has explained: ''What we wanted was to find a way for authentic Sophocles to speak directly to viewers in such a way that the two and a half millennia dividing us would melt away. They should be able to see into his mind as he uncannily still seems to see into ours.'' Rather than attempting authentic recreations with masks and so forth, this series aims for an ''indeterminate feel'' in setting and costuming. David Myercough-Jones has designed a spare, misty arena outside the gates to the king's palace. June Hudson's costumes are plucked from different historical periods, elegant empire gowns for Jocasta, barrister robes for the chorus, a white silk suit for Oedipus. The concept works. ''Oedipus the King,'' unfolding like some eternal mystery, is powerful. Its characters are archetypes embedded in our psyches, filling us with wonder even as we shudder. And the cast is about as good as you'll get nowadays: Michael Pennington as Oedipus, Claire Bloom as Jocasta, Sir John Gielgud as Tiresias, John Shrapnel as Creon, Cyril Cusack as a Theban citizen. ..... Television, it seems, is offering the best theater in town at the moment.Directed byDon TaylorWriting credits:Sophocles playDon Taylor translationCast:Michael Pennington ...

 | the Haunting (1963) - 1 of "It was an evil house from the beginning, a house that was born bad."Adapted from Shirley Jackson's "the Haunting of Hill House", directed by Robert Wise; starring Julie Harris, Claire Bloom, Richard Johnson, Russ Tamblyn.I do not own anything of this film, no money being made, not a haypenny. |
 | The Illustrated Man (1969) Part 1 Rod Steiger plays the tattoo-covered title role in this fascinating vision of doom and danger based on the classic short story collection by futurist Ray Bradbury. Robert Drivas portrays a good-natured drifter who can't tear his eyes from Steiger's freakish illustrations. And Claire Bloom is the mysterious seductress/witch from the future who created the "art" that curses its bearer - and comes to life in a nightmarish trio of tales. Two spoiled children turn playtime into slay time (from The Veldt). Shipwrecked astronauts wander across a planet cursed by The Long Rain. And loving parents choose their children's fate when the end nears (from The Last Night of the World). Every one of The Illustrated Man's pictures tells a story. |

 | Laurence Olivier: 'Richard III'- Richard woos Anne (2 of 2) Laurence Olivier's Richard III tries to woo Anne (Claire Bloom) over-- making it harder than in the original Shakespeare--her husband's dead body.Olivier splits the seduction scene into two parts (this is part two), and some of the lines (like "Clarence beware thou keepest me from the light....) are from Cibber in the scene that follows.part 1 here:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RJGv2csu5oUgo here to a single playlist of all the Shakespeare for SATS 2008:http://www.youtube.com/view_play_list?p=CD0A18B0C22EF0A4Anne...Claire BloomJohn Gielgud ... George, Duke of Clarence E. B. Warner, ("English History in Shakespeare's Plays", New York, 1894, p. 213): To my mind there is one explanation, and one only, of the mental and moral attitude of Lady Anne. Richard was the strong man of his times. Ugly and deformed, still he was a powerful individuality. By sheer force of intellectual strength he dominated and fascinated men as well as women. If by any chance Anne had come under the spell of Richard's magic, winning power, she could easily proceed step by step, from hatred of his crimes and contempt for his person, to admiring his genius, and exulting that even in seeming, the strong man was at her feet. She might not have really believed that her 'beauty was the cause of that effect,' but she must have been moved to hear it so alleged. In other words, Anne was in love with Richard, and all that sparring of the courtship scene is the resistance of one who expects to be captured and desires to be. It must be remembered, of course, that even with such a dissembler as Richard one interview would not accomplish all he achieved. Nearly two years of romantic pursuit, baffled again and again by the jealousy of Clarence, is crowded within the compass of these lines.?Richard III: Act 1 Scene 2 (lines 33-186) (SATS 2008)The funeral of Henry VI. Richard woos Anne. 'Stay, you that bear the corpse, and set it down'to'I will not be thy executioner' |
