Love's Labour's Lost (1985 TV Movie)
Lost My Love of the Labour
5 September 2020
Despite hilarious laugh out loud scenes and wonderful performances, this adaption fails at fidelity. Scenes are not only swapped, but cut and pasted, and there is a lot of dialogue removed. Being that this is a play about wordplay, puns, innuendos, etc. cutting lines is a large no. On another note, Moth appears older than Don Armando, which distracts when he is referred to as an adolescent (John Wilder agrees). If you have not read the play, then do not watch this expecting a perfect page to screen translation.
