A naked Judy Dench?

A Midsummer Night's Dream 1969. An independent film directed by Peter Hall and The Royal Shakespeare Company, Stratford-upon-Avon. This is one of those gems that allows many famous personalities of the time to display a little culture. There are many fun facets of this film; right off, we notice all the actors in a much earlier version. Who would have thought that Judi Dench was once so cute? Besides, Helen Mirren was queen before she was. Each version of A Midsummer Night's Dream features a different star cast; this is the 1969 version, in which many people will recognize Diana Rigg as Helena. Each version is to our advantage, displaying a different emphasis and dialogue of William Shakespeare. Too many individual actors to point out. Then there is the negative side. Look closely, and it looks like an Italian film with English dubbing; the words and voices are not quite in sync. The cameraman is the one who filmed "The Blare Witch." Believe it or not, it is better the second time through. This film is a must for the collector.
