 | | | | SEND IT | - To see Paul Scofield as Lear is to see nobility turn to pauperdom, pride to a frenzy of madness, manhood to senility, in the course of a single and unique dramatic experience.Scofield has always excelled in Shakespeare.Now, directed by Peter Brook and backed by a skillful cast, his mastery and maturity are seen at their most stunning level.This performance, and this direction, must surely count as one of the classics in the history of great Shakespearean drama on film.

 | | | | SEND IT | - Laurence Olivier won an Emmy for Outstanding Lead Actor for his forceful and compelling performance as Lear in what is arguably Shakespeare's greatest tragedy a story of misplaced trust, filial ingratitude, envy and the lust for power
- Olivier was 76 years old when this production was made and he still manages to tower effortlessly over a stellar cast
- Nominated for three BAFTAs, Michael Elliott's production for Granada Television set the benchmark for all other adaptations of this sad tale.The ageing King Lear abdicates his throne and surrenders his kingdom to his three daughters Goneril, Regan and Cordelia
- How much land they get is dependant on how much love they show for him, to be demonstrated in a speech, but Cordelia refuses to play her father's senile games and is banished
- Little does Lear understand that this is the first step on a path that could result in the destruction of the kingdom..
