2h 55m1974

A Drama and TV Movie film released in 1974, King Lear runs 2h 55m and comes from the United States. Soap2Day lists it with Edwin Sherin directing and James Earl Jones and Douglass Watson in the cast. It holds 9/10 from 1 vote. James Earl Jones delivers a riveting performance as paranoid patriarch King Lear, an aging monarch who insists that his three daughters prove their love for him, only to learn he's exalted the two who seek to destroy him. This live performance recording of Joseph Papp's New York Shakespeare Festival production deftly envisions the bard's haunting tragedy with a fine supporting cast, including Raul Julia, Paul Sorvino and Rene Auberjonois.
