an interesting interpretation but the change of dialogue has changed the characters - Krogstad was originally much "meaner" and Nora was much more proud and caring of her secret - the level of tension and dramatic irony has gone :(

The words are changed so much and NOT for the better. Nor is it acted very well

Isn't there a reason why there is no " 's " after Doll?

Thanks for putting this Christopher Plummer classic on Youtube. It's interesting to see some of his early television performances. His acting talent speaks for itself.
