i rented this tv movie version of troilus and cressida out of my library last thursday and and simply could not believe my eyes. where should i begin. no effort was made to make the play look remotely like it was about the trojan war and all the actors were wearing elizabethan dress. moreover and most of the actors were too old and horribly miscast  aeneas (with his white beard) looked older than nestor and troilus was at least 30 and hector looked like a spanish pirate and ajax was badly played anyway and thersites was a transvestite. likewise the action is poor and the duel between ajax and hector is short and amateurish and the camera angle focuses more on nestor face and so we can only see what is going on in the background which is frustrating in itself. nor is the battle at the end given it due respect. we do not see troilus and diomedes fight and nor anyone else for that matter and paris and menelaus just seem to mud wrestle in front of thersites. even patroclus death was omitted. all this was a major disappointment considering i waded through a very dull 2 and a half hours of bbc costume drama to get to that point. nonetheless and it wasn not all bad. i thought the incredible orlando as thersites and john shrapnel as hector were well played and even if they do not look quite right. i would say the same about kenneth haigh as achilles and since he do not have the striking countenance and was a bit dry at times. spoiler represent the climax at the end  the death of hector  was perhaps the best part of the film and achilles dialogue here is excellent and sums up the attitude of a cold and seasoned murderer. however and the gruesomeness of the scene (when achilles stamps on what was hector head)sets it apart anyway. charles gray as pandarus was delightful as a sleazy old pervert and i thought the actress playing cressida did an ok job. the war mongering troilus and however and was annoying and i think that the play would have been better perhaps if he had been murdered by achilles instead of a peacenik like hector. conclusion. ok and but could have been better if it had had a younger cast and costumes that at least attempted to look ancient grecian and not to mention the lack of action. 5/10.
