A Midsummer Night's Dream- Helen Mirren & Diana Rigg, Act 2

[baraxor]

Helen Mirren, Ian Holm, and David Warner all played characters on "SOS Titanic", and all of their characters somehow survived.

(David Warner then pushed his luck too far in the blockbuster "Titanic"!)

IT'S BILBOOOO! :D

And Lysander looks a bit like Adrian Brody :P

[Anchoviakis]

Sir Ian Holm looks like Anthony Perkins in here))))))))))))

[JeremyIrons1fantoo]

I just love Michael Jayston, he is one of my favorite actors, his acting is superb, He's gorgeous in these early films

[pdutube]

As much as I love Dame Mirren I think they really phoned it in in this movie.

There's no sex in this. He's meant to be trying it on, he looks like he just speaking for the sake of it.

[coramunroe]

Oh my goodness - Ian Holm is awesome.

[DeaconBlues]

It must be that Bilbo lies dreaming this scene someplace as methinks he seems more like Gollum than his usual self. ;)

[CandieRivers]

the woman who played helena wasn't that good! i am doing this scene as helena in english class and i am probably better than her. she has to get andry in her last line!

Hmmm...I think first, you gotta eat all your spinach baby. She's Dame Diana Rigg, one of the best shakespearean actress in th U.K.

[al1936ful]

@unguapodel900 That's Helen Mirren at the beginning.

[Bozpot]

Bloody hell - I envy Diana Rigg around 4:43!

Okay, cool, I am doing this in a performance, and I am Bottom, but in the auditions I am doing the Lysander part here:

"Oh take the sin, sweet of my innocence..." part, anybody got any tips?

[bigmassivebrid]

where's act 1, is the whole thing available on youtube????

[almadora]

the entire thing is worth watching; with helen mirren, a very handsome david warner, and ian holm as the spunky emerald fairy, Puck. (but for strict ian holm devotees, he appears at almost exactly 2 minutes... but for context i recommend you watch the whole clip.)
