-- Bernard Shaw's Arms and the manc2006., General, BBC Video : distributed in the USA and Canada by Warner Home Video Call No: DVD Fic Arms Availability:1 of 1 At Your Library Series Title: BBC classicsSummary Note: "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. One night, a frightened Swiss soldier of fortune climbs into the bedroom of a young Bulgarian girl, Raina (Helena Bonham Carter), and soon deflates her romantic notions about love and valor. The cast of characters includes a jealous fiancé fighting for the other side, a bumbling military father, and a domineering and social-climbing mother - not to mention the servants who see and hear all. This hilarious and charmingly ludicrous look at the misconceptions of love and war continues to delight and unsettle audiences even today."--Container.
