Product Description

BAFTA-winning actress Diana Rigg stars as the beautiful but manipulative Hedda Gabler in John Osborne's adaptation of Henrik Ibsen's classic play. With strong support by heavyweight actors Alan Dobie, Philip Bond, Denis Lill and Kathleen Byron, Emmy-nominated David Cunliffe's play remains, for some, the definitive version of what is arguably Ibsen's best work.

Koch Vision present "HEDDA GABLER" (1981) (78 mins/Color) (Dolby Digital) --- Henrik Ibsen's classic play "HEDDA GABLER" is brought to the screen in this adaptation, which was originally made for television --- The stunning adaptation of Ibsens groundbreaking play that tells the story of an ambitious woman trapped in the stifling environment of a 19th century marriage, "HEDDA GABLER" features an ALL-Star cast that includes: 5-time Emmy Award Nominee, Diana Rigg plays Hedda with a strong supporting cast.

Under David Cunliffe (Director), Henrik Ibsen (Play Author), John Osborne (Screenwriter) - - - - the cast includes Diana Rigg, Kathleen Byron, Alan Dobie and Dennis Lill - - - - - - the story line and plot, Stuck in a loveless marriage to intellectual George Tesman (Denis Lill), the ambitious Hedda Gabler (Diana Rigg) hungers for a life her husband can't provide --- When a former flame, the successful Eilert (Philip Bond), enters the picture, violence and blackmail aren't far behind --- Diana Rigg is the manipulative Hedda, who will not or cannot conform to what society considers "normal" for a woman --- The arrival of an ex-lover on the scene gives her the opportunity to determine someone else's fate--but of course that is not what Ibsen was writing about --- in the adaptation by John Osborne.

Great job by Koch Vision --- looking forward to more high quality titles from the BBC Collection film market --- order your copy now from Amazon or Koch Vision where there are plenty of copies available on DVD, stay tuned once again for top notch releases --- where they are experts in releasing long forgotten films and treasures to the collector.

I chose this for the actors and expectation of interesting and witty script. I was not disappointed. Lovely clothes, Beautiful English properly spoken. shock ending but not unexpectedly matched character of the main player.

4.0 out of 5 stars Oldie but goodie 3 Feb 2009
Format:DVD
Diana Rigg as the General's daughter exudes boredom and entrapment. Feels a little dated in its style and treatement but the claustrophibia comes through well in the static set. Bought this as a teaching aid and it has done the job well.
