Summary
BBC Video has released Maggie Smith at the BBC, a decidedly mixed-bag, three-disc compilation of four television dramas starring the incomparable Maggie Smith. Programs include the 1972 Play of the Month production of William Shakespeare's The Merchant of Venice; The Millionairess, the G.B. Shaw play that was also a 1972 Play of the Month offering; Bed Among the Lentils, a playlet from the 1988 miniseries Talking Heads, and Suddenly, Last Summer, the 1993 reworking of the Tennessee Williams shocker. There are a handful of intriguing extras that will no doubt please fans of the mercurial, brilliant Smith, but truth be told, this collection isn't the best representation of this particular artist's work.
