Much Ado About Nothing (1974)

  
Format:  Much Ado About Nothing DVD 
 
 
Much-lauded CBS presentation of the New York Shakespeare Festival's staging of the Bard's comedy is translated to the turn of the 20th century and weaves Teddy Roosevelt's Rough Riders and women suffragettes around a cast of characters that includes the sparring Beatrice and Benedick; the about-to-be-married Hero and Claudio; the evil Don John; and comical Dogberry. Sam Waterston, Kathleen Widdoes, Barnard Hughes, and April Shawnham head the impressive cast. 165 min. Standard; Soundtrack: English.
