The Tempest (1960)

The Tempest is a 1960 television adaptation of the Shakespeare play. Directed by George Schaefer, it stars Maurice Evans as Prospero, Richard Burton as Caliban, Lee Remick as Miranda, Roddy McDowall as Ariel, and Tom Poston as Trinculo. Edited for time, this is still the best adaptation I've found.

  2. Oh dear. Another Shakespeare I know absolutely nothing about. For some reason, I thought I was here earlier today, but it must just be my mind playing tricks on me.

    I remember thinking I needed to go back and ask if you got lots of wind with your rain because it looks like there was a storm on your patio. I saw your weather and it was almost as bad as mine.

    1. We got a _lot_ of wind! No damage from it, though, just lots of leaves down. We broke records for cold those couple of days, but we're getting warmer now with highs in the 40s.
