Measure for Measure (1979)
Measure for Measure is the 1979 BBC adaptation of the Shakespeare play. I watched it on Amazon Prime. The play can be read here and here and listened to here.

...measurement has been important through time.
ReplyDeleteThere's no room for mercy in a measure for measure justice system.
DeleteThanks for the plot synopsis. I have never read a Shakespeare play, so learning about this one was informative. Sadly, I wasn't fond of the truth it was attempting to tell or reveal, although I understand it has a happier ending than most.
ReplyDeleteIt always helps me with Shakespeare if I already know the plot. I like the focus here on how power corrupts. Suitable for these days as we look at our Senate, I think.
DeleteOooh, Himself will be out tomorrow so I can watch this. Thanks
ReplyDeleteYayeee! I hope he has a good outing and that you enjoy this adaptation.
DeleteThat sounds like a good version to watch. I realize that I have forgotten the plot and characters, which I once knew.
ReplyDeletebest... mae at maefood.blogspot.com
I need refreshers. Always lol
DeleteI've seen this version and liked it. Have a great week, Valerie
ReplyDeleteIt was new to me, but I've seen some others of the BBC series. I wanted the whole series for the longest time, but they were always sooo expensive.
DeleteI haven't seen this one in many moons. Thanks for the links!
ReplyDeleteYou're welcome :) It was good to see it offered on TV.
DeleteI have seen this as well and really liked it.
ReplyDeleteThey always do a great job.
DeleteI've not seen this ...
ReplyDeleteWishing you a good week.
All the best Jan
There's a series, and I've enjoyed the ones I've seen.
DeleteI don't know this play very well so it was a good reminder to watch it. Many thanks as I did enjoy it. (I borrowed my teacher niece's copy!)
ReplyDeleteThis series was so well done!
