In the words of Ian McKellen:Alexei Arbuzov's sentimental yet incisive play about three orphaned teenagers trapped in the Siege of Leningrad followed the changing fortunes of their love triangle through three acts until they were in their thirties. It was a hit from Moscow across Europe to London, where I played it with Judi Dench and Ian McShane for a year. For twenty-seven less glorious performances, I again played Leonidik (with Eileen Atkins and Ian McShane) at the Henry Miller’s Theatre on Broadway. With the Cold War raging, it was difficult for Americans to accept three Brits in a sympathetic Soviet story. As a film, it fared badly with the critics who detected its theatre origins too strongly. Still it turns up late at night on cable television. 'The Promise' was the first time I recreated one of my stage performances on film."We filmed at Shepperton Studios and reused the Dickensian sets from the musical film 'Oliver,' which Now doubled for war-torn Leningrad." — Ian McKellen, August 1999 |

In the course of his visit, he and the doctor examine many aspects of Shakespeare’s life and character, sifting what is kNown from what is guessed about by scholars.

Postumus is banished, after being discredited by Livia, but when Germanicus successfully returns from quelling the Germans, Claudius takes him to one side and repeats Postumus's accusations against Livia and her involvement in the deaths of Gaius, Lucius and Drusus, and the discrediting of Julia and Postumus. He takes his concerns to Augustus who secretly calls in on Postumus on his island of exile. Livia suspects that he kNows something and sees his new will. She destroys this and manages to poison Augustus, in spite of his precautions to eat only fruit he has picked. Her son Tiberius then takes over as Emperor. On Livia and his orders the first things done are to have the witness to the will-change and Postumus assassinated, the latter being killed by Sejanus. |

Every so often, an actor or actress will achieve a fame which transcends any memory of their work, and he or she becomes syNonymous with the word "star." Sarah Bernhardt (1844-1923) was one such person. A commanding performance by Glenda Jackson towers over this episodic drama chronicling the early life of legendary stage actress Bernhardt. The film follows Bernhardt's career trajectory from her early years on the French stage, through a period of celebrity and Notoriety, until an early comeback at the age of 35. The film begins when Bernhardt wins a Comedie Francaise audition as a teenager in 1860 and vows, "I shall be the greatest actress that ever lived." What follows is a sampler of the more bizarre aspects of Bernhardt's career -- from giving birth to a Nobleman's son out of wedlock, to her proclivity towards sleeping in a coffin, to her insistence on being paid after every performance in gold. Interspersed throughout the film is Jackson as Bernhardt performing excerpts from La Passant, Phedre, La Dame aux Camelias, and King Lear. ~ Paul Brenner, All Movie Guide |

Guy confides in Robert that certain aspects on the marital front have Not as yet taken their natural course, but Robert and EleaNor soon suspect he is beating his wife. Meanwhile, Daniel Bentley's widow has a 10-year-old daughter, Lil, whom EleaNor wants to propose for Guy's programme for relocation to Canada. But when Mrs. Bentley catches her son Sidney thieving, she is all too ready to send him off instead. Unfortunately, the all-scientific Guy finds Sidney substandard, on the basis of skull measurements. Dr. Marsham finds Sidney substandard on quite different grounds, when Sidney nicks his razor (and, in the process, nicks himself, as well). Robert ejects his old friend from the house when he is convinced Guy has been beating his wife, but when Kathleen collapses and Robert must perform surgery on a suspected tumour, he finds embedded in her flesh numerous embroidery needles. The scarring indicates that some, at least, undoubtedly date back to well before the marriage. Then she tries to poison herself with carbolic acid. When Guy coldly states she is defective and ought to be put down like a dog, Robert is really appalled. |
