The Merry Wives of Windsor (1980 TV Movie)
6/10
Grahame fans will probably appreciate this.
4 March 2021
Mind you, it's a modest production, filmed in a 99 seat theatre, the Globe Playhouse, 1107 North Kings Road West Hollywood, operated by the Shakespeare Society of America for a while, after they had been evicted from their mansion in West Hollywood in 1972. Today the building houses a cinema, I believe.

As said, the production is modest but still enjoyable. Grahame fans in particular will probably appreciate this, as there aren't many recordings of her doing stage performances, and here we have decent rendition of a complete play at least. Myself, knowing that she would have liked to do more Shakespeare, I was quite glad to be able to watch this appearance of hers, made in her hometown and not long before her untimely death.
