Edward the Third, my lords, had seven sons...

A couple of you have heard me lament, on previous occasions, the inability to find an online reproduction of the title page of Hall's Union of the Two Noble and Illustre Famelies of Lancastre and Yorke, because it is pretty and shiny and awesome and also highly propagandistic, and really, I know you have all wanted to see pictorial representations

Just popping in to say that the free movies at Google Video (today only -- June 23) include a 1936 "As You Like It." I know nothing about this movie, but just had to mention. For the link to all the movies, see my LJ.

Ooooh, is that the Olivier one? I have that on tape! But thanks for the tip. :D

*mumbling* Another play I like without a good recent movie version... Olivier gets to be pretty, but the girl is... notmyRosalind. I see the BBC got Helen Mirren for Rosalind, was that any good? Maybe will have to check.

Oh, was also going to say (before I maybe leave you alone...) I've got this old Shakespeare book with lots of pics of old actors, which I could happily scan for you. There's everything from Edmund Kean as Richard III to Richard Burton as Hal!

Oooooh, I loooove old actor pics!

Also, did you know Branagh is working on As You Like It? His concept sounds...erm. Interesting. It'll have Bryce Dallas Howard as Rosalind and Kevin Kline as Jaques. I haven't seen the Beeb one, and have heard varying things about it...

Whee! a new As You Like It! You have your uses, Ken. (oh. I still have to see his new Love's Labour's Lost, don't I?)

I'll get right on scanning those... um, not tonight. Soon.
