In 1972, twenty million people saw the broadcast of this CBS-TV production of Shakespeare's classic tale of romance, mistaken identity, and the battle of the sexes. Though this turn-of-the-century version has Roosevelt's Rough-Riders and bicycle-riding suffragettes, the story is the same: Beatrice and Benedick fight their merry war of words; the evil Don John conspires to disrupt the wedding of Hero and Claudio, and it's up to Dogberry to save the day. Critically acclaimed and loved by audiences, this production features Oscar-nominee Sam Waterston and Kathleen Widdoes. Produced by Joe Papp. Broadway Theatre Archive Series.Running time: 165 minutes. Color.
