OMG! Thank you! This is fantastic. How do you get access to these fabulous clip?

Thank you so much for all you do for us.

Answering your rhetorical question :) -  they were recorded, copied and shared by numbers of fans during the years, then a lovely generous ladies answered my plea, searched her shelves and gave me 2 dozens of tapes to be digitalized and shared with everyone. Then more lovely ladies dug up more tapes... It was like Christmas all year long!

As for this specific clip - it was a part of a TV review, so that's all I could find on the tape.

OMG he's gorgeous... he reminds me of somebody but can't think who. Thanks Greenheart

That "quiet and calm" actually is what makes him so scary here! He speaks of death as if he was talking about the afternoon TV programs. That is far more frightening than yells and huge gestures. Wonderful job...

Oooh. He looks so quiet and calm, but actually he's quite scary! Great clip.

Oh... I remember seeing Electra on stage, that too a bit "modernized" version and set on a small stage for the atmosphere. What a great Orestes Martin has certainly been... even this short clip shows that. Thank you once again, Greenheart!
