Comment: Re: SHK 8.0052 Qs: Non-Shakespearean Videos
Speaking of non-Shakespearean Renaissance drama on video, I came across the
following passage in George Geckle's Text and Performance series volume on
*Tamburlaine* and *Edward II*. Speaking of director Tony Robertson's 1969
Edinburgh Festival production featuring Ian McKellan as King Edward, Geckle
writes:
Finally, the production was filmed by the BBC at the
Picadilly Theatre in London in January 1970, and that version was
subsequently broadcast in the United States in 1975 and 1977 over
the Public Broadcasting System (88).
Does anyone on the list remember seeing this production or have any idea how
one might obtain a copy of the broadcast on videotape?

I have a video of an Italian film of 'Tis Pity She's a Whore starring Charlotte
Rampling and Oliver Tobias. I don't know whether it's still available. I was
fairly underwhelmed and only watched it once, but I seem to recall that every
time an incestuous act was about to take place we were shown white horses
copulating (I do hope this really happened and wasn't the result of my frenzied
imagination...) I also have an idea that it was originally translated into
Italian, and when they decided to make it in English after all, they didn't
just revert to the Ford script, but translated it back again. I definitely
recall that at the end Soranzo's lot massacre about half the population of
Parma.

Many months ago I found an Italian film version (and a brilliant one!) of John
