The formidable James Earl Jones reprises his critically acclaimed King Lear in this television adaption of Joseph Papp's New York Shakespeare Festival production. Of Jone's performance The Washington Post wrote, 'Jones has the qualities of mind, body, voice and movement which enable him to make us care deeply about the spectacle of an old man brought to grief by his folly. The magnitude Jones projects is not a matter of mere physical size, but of largeness of soul.' Also starring Raul Julia, Paul Sorvino and many others. Running Time: 176 minutes.
