[abdulshakoorpirzada]

it is nice and appreciable effort and very useful for the sutdents of lit

[jessikerr95]

also, its really different from the book, really different.

[jessikerr95]

I get the feeling most people watching this are students aha? same here guys, same here.

[Inviting2d9thShadow]

To the spectator's despair Torvald only mutters to himself and doesn't speak as comprehensibly as he should! What on Earth was wrong with him?

[hiisoukah]

[flypunk90]

[themostawesomone]

Excellent! Thank you very much. I have read this act but this helps me to get a better mental picture.

[theflamealchemist22]

The world is too small...

Reading this for English and randomly thought to look it up on Youtube and I find Christopher Plummer? -___-

Woahh his moustache.... XD Loved his performance in Sound of Music though!!! :)

[javatres]

I'm dr Rank! =D

[mapeachy84]

he´s soooooooo handsome! A gentleman like Christopher is a rare sight today...

[zigfried64]

One of those little boys at the beginning is Richard Thomas, who would grow up to play John Boy Walton. Can't tell which one though.

[unclaimedtreas]

@zigfried64 I think its the taller boy. It looked like he had a birthmark on his cheek,

[visualxjinsei]

@zigfried64 Richard Thomas must be the slightly taller boy without a hat. I think I see the birthmark on his cheek.

I wonder if he remembers anything about Julie Harris today...

[jiajia1314]

oh my.. i nid subtitles.. i cant catch up on wad they're saying.. too fast for mi..

[everydayislikesundae]

i had to read this in my philosophy and ethics class junior year in highschool, i graduated 2 years ago, but this is great play :)

[ikaika2005]

Great job posting the whole play and for making a playlist ^_^ very much appreciated!!

[ishlashkara]

sweet! i was really looking for this, so thanks for posting!

[SniperNightOwl]

this is the only good book that I had to read in my entire humanites class.

[ManWhoLovesTheMary]

Whow! Chris Plummber was REALLY young. You think he's young in Sound of Music, just look at 'em here! Not an insult, but don't you think he looks better without a moustache?

[MistyRainProductions]

[MistyRainProductions]

OTHER READERS SPOILER ALERT DON'T READ IF YOU DON'T WANT A DOLLS HOUSE SPOILED FOR YOU!! :)

[progvortex]

Thanks for posting!

[rosstrotter]

OMG! Thank You for posting this!!!

[girlfanHGTnRoni]

ooh! finally! the original version! im playing mr. rank LOL

[xanafanadu]

is this exactly like the book?

[dglekjofg]

Quite exactly. James Costigan's adaptation is highly faithful to Ibsen's play. Of course it is not a totally verbatim adaptation, and some of the play's textual passages are shortened and/or a bit simplified (but probably you can notice that only if you have your eyes on the book while watching the movie). I find that in general Costigan tends to play the dramatic climaxes down a bit too much.

[ihateskirts]

musta been a lot of pessure, to do an entire play on national tv

[dglekjofg]

Yes, they were under great pressure. It appears that, in order to relax, the cast had a party the night before. And Chris and his friend Jason Robards (Doctor Rank) got so drunk that they didn't get up on time and arrived very late and in a bad state for the general rehearsal. After all, he was still a puppy of 29.

[ihateskirts]

yeah the cast of TSOM said that he stayed up partying in the hotel they were staying at and he'd get mad when they wanted to go to bed at 2 in the morn lol always thought that was funny. and he stilled pulled off great performances lol
