Summary

A film of the highly acclaimed Chichester Festival Theatre production of Anton Checkhov's play Uncle Vanya directed by and starring Laurence Olivier. Chekhov's portrayal of the frustrations and disillusions of advancing age and the numbing boredom of provincial life in 1890's Russia, is here effortlessly performed by probably the most talented and prestigious cast ever assembled for this work. An outstanding work of significant historical importance
