Talk:Wagner (film)

Viewpoint of the series
I would like to know whether there has been other "Wagner" TV-series. This series or the other Wagner semi-documentary showed clearly how Wagner speculated in peoples sexual inhibitions showing half naked Rhein-daughters waving transparent dresses, and that Wagners royal protector very much liked this. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Donald j axel (talk • contribs) 00:39, 5 December 2010 (UTC)

Not a miniseries, according to Tony Palmer
The July 2011 Limelight article "Palmer talks Wagner", about the release of the 3-DVD set, is in the form of Q&A with Tony Palmer:
 * Q. So your 1982 film Wagner is finally being released in its full form on DVD ...
 * A. Three DVDs - 7 hours and 46 minutes. It is now exactly as it was originally filmed, as one film, not a miniseries.  I'm sick and tired of hearing it described as a miniseries.

So, given that, maybe we need to change the title to Wagner (film). It's a little vexed, though, because 99% of people who've ever seen it up till now have seen a miniseries, not a film. --  Jack of Oz   [your turn]  12:23, 18 June 2011 (UTC)


 * I've moved it, and reworded the text to support this title. --   Jack of Oz   [your turn]  20:51, 4 September 2011 (UTC)

Funny. in my set of VHS, the only narrator I ever hear is john Gieldgud, (and he is credit as such); not "Andrew Cruickshank"? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 128.103.170.224 (talk) 19:17, 30 May 2012 (UTC)

Also, its true the Olivier, Richardson and Gieldgud only appear in the same visual frame in this film but they DO appear in the same first-temporal scene of Olivier's Richard III, that is in the same acting scene. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 128.103.170.224 (talk) 19:21, 30 May 2012 (UTC)
