The Complete Epic (4 Disc Set) "Burton gives one of his finest screen performances." - USA Today Only an actor of the stature of the late Richard Burton could measure up to the titanic character of Richard Wagner and, in his last major screen appearance, Burton met the most artistically challenging and physically demanding assignment of his career. He captures perfectly the complex mixture of arrogance, selfishness, tenderness and obsession of Wagner's character. Starring alongside Burton is Academy Award winner Vanessa Redgrave as Cosima, Wagner's second wife, a woman who was to have a dramatic impact on German history until her death in 1930. Gemma Craven plays the part of Minna, Wagner's first wife. Also in the cast are some of the most popular names of the stage and cinema, including Sir Laurence Olivier, Sir John Gielgud, Sir Ralph Richardson, Arthur Lowe, Ronald Pickup, Ekkehardt Schall, Marthe Keller, Lisa Kreuzer, Liza Goddard, Franco Nero, Cyril Cusack and Andrew Cruickshank. Includes the following: Disc 1: Parts 1 - 3 (136 minutes) Disc 2: Parts 4 - 6 (131 minutes) Disc 3: Parts 7 -8 (97 minutes) Disc 4: Parts 9 - 10 (105 minutes) |
