It starts at 11 P.M. It is not to be missed. It is a silent movie made in Germany in 1922. I can't wait to watch it and hear the great background movie TCM always has in it!

It stars the great actor Emil Jennings who was the professor in the 1930 movie The Blue Angel that made Marlene Dietrich into an international star.

This is one of many great William Shakespeare plays that have been turned into great movies.

Remember Shakespear wrote plays that were met to be watched on the stage and entertain and not to be put into rough work in the classroom that many of us had to endure in high school English Class so let's not be negative and enjoy this great movie.

Great news indeed!

That's very interesting, because at the same time tonight, IFC will be showing Shakespear's Hamlet!

No, IFC is the Independent Film Channel. Has nothing to do with UFC or IFL.
