Unbelievable! Seems like yesterday I saw her naked in A Midsummer Night's Dream and she took my breath away. 85, my God! Happy Birthday Titania. Wowsie! I wish I'd seen this! Directed by Peter Hall, and with Ian Richardson, Diana Rigg and Helen Mirren, too. That's a lot to miss!
Gotta see if I can find this. Thanks so much!
I have seen this twice. Once many years ago and again in 2016, Shakespeare's 400th death anniversary when I revisited every Shakespeare play. In spite of that posed picture, the scenes with Ian Richardson and Judi Dench as the sexiest King and Queen of the Fairies ever are shot very dark and perhaps with some kind of filter on the camera so you're always going, is she really...is that...no it can't be...there it is again. It's peek-a-boo all the way through. Titillating but never explicit. This film is very much worth seeing. The rest of the major cast includes Helen Mirren, David Warner, Michael Jayston, and Diana Rigg as the four lovers from Athens, Ian Holm as Puck, and Paul Rogers as Bottom so you know it has some great and charismatic talent.
