This Oscar-nominated adaptation of Peter Shaffer's Tony Award-winning play erupts on the screen with the same power and passion as the stage original. Richard Burton gives "one of his best performances ever" ('Boxoffice') in this "elegant and provocative" ('Newsweek') take of myth and madness.
Synopsis: Talky adaptation of popular play about psychiatrist's patient who inexplicably blinds horses. Stagy, slow-moving psychological drama pleases fans of elliptical fare. A must for Richard Burton fans.
