Oedipus Rex
1957 · 1 hr 27 mins
The story of Oedipus' gradual discovery of his primal crime, killing his father and marrying his mother, filmed by the famed British theatrical director Sir Tyrone Guthrie. This elegant version of Sophocles' play adds a brilliant stroke: the actors wear masks just as the Greeks did in the playwright's day.
Director: Tyrone Guthrie
Cast: Douglas Campbell, Eleanor Stuart, Robert Goodier, Donald Davis, William Hutt
