Still, theatricality is what you expect from Coward, so just sit back and enjoy it. Script adapt . In 1953, television was beginning to make inroads into the cinema audience.

Script adapt .
Miriam Hopkins came from Hollywood to play in this silly melodrama about an actor who tries to kill his wife on stage during Othello in order to cop-off with Ms Hopkins. Sebastian Shaw is the actor and Gertrude Lawrence is the poor woman playing Desdemona. Robin Hood gets caught up in a plot to prevent King Richard's release from capture in Germany. Don Taylor gets to play Robin, and while the film isn't bad, with the re-release of Errol Flynn's Adventures of Robin Hood in the cinemas at the moment you'd be better off seeing the best.
