This was one of the best portrayals I have seen with a real castle and stateley home as scenery. the costumes where impressive, the acting believable ,the characters had real depth. Clare bloom shone brightly and Timothy West came over craftly. With all shakespere it may be a good idea if you review the theme of the story before you watch.As with many of shakespear's storie they are not historically correct but often written for the politics of the time..But I found the whole film very watchable
