Adaptation of Melville's Thoreauesque drama about a man who has reached the end of his tether and just can't go on with the rigors of life. Whereas Melville's story takes place at the turn-of-the-century on Wall Street, director Anthony Friedmann transposes the story to 1960's London where automation has further displaced humanity.

TRANSLATION William Butler Yeats
CAST Douglas Campbell, Eleanor Stuart, Robert Goodieras, William Hutt, Donald Davis, Douglas Rain, Tony Van Bridgve, Eric House, Barbara Franklin, William Shatner

This definitive adaptation of Sophocles' greatest play is a must for anyone interested in the dramatic arts. The superb acting and diction of Douglas Campbell as Oedipus, Douglas Rain as the Messenger (also the voice of HAL in Kubrick's 2001: A Space Odyssey), Eleanor Stuart as Jocasta and a myriad of classically trained actors, like William Shatner, make this film, as so aptly stated by the New York Times, "Spectacular and awesome...a jewel of great price!"
