I've done a little Shakespeare, would you like to hear some?

 

Elizabeth Taylor; Richard Burton



On You Tube, watch the video with this title:

Here's Lucy - Lucy Meets the Burtons - Episode aired 14 September 1970 - Clip

uploader / channel -- Russ McClay


        It's 2 minutes and 26 seconds: in that brief space we get some Shakespeare, some slapstick, gold-standard television comedy writing.


four viewer comments -

~  Just a couple of icons!

~  Richard Harris recited some of this speech as part of the eulogy for Burton.

~  The voice from the valleys that travelled around the world leaving us intoxicated

~  Richard Burton was touched by the hand of God.
