Who Cares?

[poliphilo]

 I was so taken with Olivier's Astrov that I thought I'd give his Othello a spin. The film of the stage production was made in 1965. I remember it being controversial at the time. Now it's all but unwatchable. I stuck with it until the end of Act I .

It's truly terrible. Not only because of the blackface but because the production is so inert.

I had several goes at writing a post about it, but then thought, "After all this time, who cares?"
