A Doll's House (1973) All Region DVD (Plays on Region 1,2,3,4,5,6 DVD players). Based on the novel by Henrik Ibsen.

Adore this film. So full of warmth it brings to life Ibsen's intellectual story about how women up to the Victorian era were kept like dolls on a pedestal by their strict husbands without any free will or rights to grow & be themselves. The film shows this poor housewife in particular whose life was all about her husband & her two children & their beautiful home. Her husband expects his wife to beg like a puppy & play like a baby for everything she desires, which isn't very much for she is not supposed to desire anything because she is not a person who thinks, or is allowed to think for herself for this poor woman/wife is treated nothing more than like a pretty Doll in a Dolls house. Even though she has bore her husband two siblings she is expected to remain 'childlike' towards her husband & her children'. It will open up your mind & make you think on an intellectual & social & philosophical level. A film well made I like to watch over & over. At the end you will want to slap that husband in the face for his lack of emotional skills & the way he thinks toward women - objects to be desired & to remain perfect as a doll to be played with at all times, but never allowed to think.

Wow> What a performance by an star studded cast bringing Ibsen's play to life. Clare Bloom and Anthony Hopkins play thoughtfully the married couple living in a time when men controlled women and events unfold to make the wife question this I shall not forget the ending when she has self realisation while the husband does not grasp this. A film that will be played several times.

Haven't played it yet but sure it will be good.

The cast is an absolute dream team: Claire Bloom, Anthony Hopkins, Sir Ralph Richardson, Denholm Elliot, Anna Massey and no less than Edith Evans in the small role of the nanny. What a treat.

A bit dated but good production.

Very enjoyable.
