Twelfth Night - Alec Guinness - Joan Plowright - Ralph Richardson - 1970 - REMASTERED - 4K

ITV’s second adaptation of Twelfth Night (following a 1959 production aimed at schools and shown mid-afternoon) was produced and adapted by the theatre director John Dexter, who made substantial cuts to the original play to get it to fit a two-hour slot with highly experienced Shakespearean performers Joan Plowright, Ralph Richardson and Alec Guinness playing alongside the singer-turned-actor Tommy Steele.
