The Wars Of The Roses (RSC, 1965) Part 1, 6/6 The Inheritance

[willshake58]

I would really love to get hold of the whole series as it is a classic of Theatre.

So far I could not complain, save the verse crippling and scene changing: Madame Suzman plays a proper English incarnation of our warlike Jeanne (a far better one than in any movie made about her, save maybe Sandrine Bonnaire), Henry VI is played as a clumsy and misplaced cleric, unfit for state and majestic, the Duke of York does at least resemble the warlike and royal figure of Shakespeare; and Talbot is indeed an old English Achilles.
