Arms and the Man

Released 16 April 1989 More from 1989 → Letterboxd ↗ · TMDB ↗

First produced on the London stage in 1894, "Arms and the Man" immediately established Shaw's reputation as one of the greatest wits in London drama. This beautifully remastered BBC production brings to life an uproarious comedy that still resonates in its critique of warfare and romance.
