Shakespeare's fanciful play, filmed at the Stratford Shakespeare Festival before a live audience.

Andrew Gillies ... Orlando
Mervyn Blake ... Adam
Roberta Maxwell ... Rosalind
Rosemary Dunsmore ... Celia
Lewis Gordon ... Touchstone
John Jarvis ... Silvius
John Novak ... Amiens
Nicholas Pennell ... Jaques

directed by John Hirsch

[Jaques] cannot be wholly dismissed. A certain sour distaste for life is voided through him, something most of us feel at some time or other. If he were not there to give expression to it, we might be tempted to find the picture of life in the forest too sweet. His only action is to interfere in the marriage of Touchstone and Audrey; and this he merely postpones. His effect, whenever he appears, is to deflate: the effect does not last and cheerfulness soon breaks in again.

--- Helen Gardner, "As You Like It," 1970
