One of seven educational films cooperatively made by Station WQED Pittsburgh, Carnegie-Mellon University and The Shakespeare Birthplace Trust, Stratford-upon-Avon (see also numbers 138, 330-1, 564-5, and 715).

Dr. Levi Fox, Director of the Shakespeare Birthplace Trust, Stratford-upon-Avon, England, also served as a special consultant. Jeffery Dench of the Royal Shakespeare Company is narrator, though curiously the films give no credits for the other actors
