Moliere: The Misanthrope (The Comedy of Manners)
- 1976 ----- color ----- 52 min ----- vhs
- Comedy shows men as they are, not as they ought to be. It exaggerates the quirks and follies rather than the nobility of man and takes for its plots everyday events rather than historical turning-points. Though its aim is humorous--to show how the mannerisms of men betray the hollowness they are intended to belie--Moliere's work has a tragic hue. Presented in the Richard Wilbur translation; narrated by Cyril Richard; with Sharon Duce, Neil Stacy, Sheila Reed, Helen Cotterell and Edward Petherbridge as the Misanthrope.
- Topics: (Drama, Literature)
