Much Ado About Nothing (1972)
Synopsis: The classic
Shakespeare comedy of lovers, intrigue, and surprise, all set in turn-of-the
last century America.
Sam's performance: Sam says
this is one of his all-time favorite roles, and it is easy to see why. He thoroughly enjoys the transformation of
Capt. Benedict from independent bachelor to a man head over heels in love. He is able to use physical comedy in this
film version of the stage play, and he�s quite good at it. Be
sure not to miss his bathtub scene, especially as he steps into skivvies that
leave little to the imagination!
Must-see scene: Capt. Benedict
is in a rowboat under a bridge, fishing, and winds up eavesdropping on his
friends. Sam at his most agile with
physical comedy.
Rating:
1 Sam means you won�t be able to sit through the movie
once; 5 Sams means you�ll want to buy the film and watch it over and over!
5 Sams
This is a keeper. The combination of
Shakespeare�s words and Sam�s acting is hard to beat!
