Editorial Reviews

From Library Journal

This work lists more than 750 film and video productions, from 1899 through Branagh's Henry V (1989). Feature-length film adaptations of plays are included, of course, but so are modernizations, abridgements, musical and dance versions, travesties, and excerpts, in addition to documentaries on Shakespeare's life and times. Each entry generally provides extensive information, including a critical evaluation (with citations), credits, and information on availability. Arrangement is alphabetical by play title, and six indexes make it simple to find any entry. A necessity for special collections.
