starring Laurence Harvey, Susan Shentall
with Flora Robson, Mervyn Johns, Bill Travers

This ambitious British production, awarded the Grand Prix at the 1954 Venice Film Festival, was mainly shot on authentic Italian locations. Shakespeare's play was freely adapted-causing adverse comment then, though now such changes are more fashionable. Flora Robson gives a memorable performance as the Nurse.
A delight to the eye, the film provides a fascinating comparison with the more recent film version, not to mention West Side Story.
Adapted for the screen and directed by Renato Castellani

This is the second of the exiles' traditional Christmas fixtures in West Wales: they were in action against Llanelli yesterday, while Swansea were hosts to the Universities Athletic XV.
Both teams will be anxious to do well with just a week before the final Welsh trial to find a team to meet the Springboks in January. The last time London Welsh appeared on Rugby Special from Wales they beat Aberavon 52 points to 3 and are quite capable of doing the same to the rebuilt Swansea team.

Is Art Dangerous?: Most people think art is ennobling. The Greeks thought it cleansed. Freud said it was therapeutic. But author and critic A. Alvarez says it is none of these. Talking to James Mossman, he argues that people act out in real life what they see in art, violent or otherwise.
