The best, 25 September 2000
9/10
Author: Stephen Hitchings from Sydney, Australia

This is, quite simply, the best production of a Shakespeare comedy ever filmed. The plot is delightfully absurd, the acting brilliant, the direction superb. It is the sort of comedy you can watch over and over again.
