Description
"A film tribute to William Shakespeare, made in connection with the quatracentennial celebrations. Spoken extracts from Shakespeare's works blend with visuals of scenes in Britain today to capture the essence of the poet's imagery" (Distributor's blurb). There is also an extract from the Olivier Henry V. From descriptions, the production seems to be identical, or nearly so, to the one that was released in the USA in 1976 (see 711)
