"Oedipus the King" starring Christopher Plummer (Part 1 of 14)

[mritchie56]

I was 12 when this movie came out, and I bought a paperback tie-in edition with photos from the movies, but I never got to see it until now (I'm now 55). Thanks so much for making this available.

Thank you for posting this movie for the Christopher Plummer fans. I only wish it captured the energy of the live drama.

Wow this is really stupid, but thanks for the effort?

[TOMOazn]

@TheSteven132 You're saying this movie is stupid? Have you read the book. . . ? It's not stupid, it's really interesting.

[TheSteven132]

@TOMOazn I have read the book..

Hi my grandfather had a role in this movie - he was in the 'chorus'. I would love to get a copy of this movie, where did you get a copy from? I have been searching for years! Cheers Katherine

Christopher Plummer's eyes were hypnotic and his face one you couldn't keep your eyes off. His acting was first class, too.

Thank you for this - great cast. Funnily Cyril Cusack turned up in the BBC version as well.

[ihateskirts]

finally someone posted the whole film, thankyou!!!!!!

[dglekjofg]

I'm sorry it's a very bad copy. The fact that his face is hardly visible kills me. I don't know if in the U.S.A. this movie occasionally airs on tv, but here in Europe, U.K. included, it is more than rare.

Where are the rest of the parts? I have been looking all over for this video. I want to show it to my English class, but I can't seem to find it anywhere. Where did you get ahold of a copy of this?
