A Doll's House (1973)

A Doll's House (1973)
Member Rating:  
Henrik Ibsen's oft-filmed play A Doll's House was adapted for the screen in this Anglo-Canadian production. Claire Bloom stars as Nora, the child-like "trophy bride" who matures rather rapidly when her husband is threatened with blackmail. Even after extricating her block-headed hubby from his dilemma, he refuses to take her seriously, whereupon Nora, in a burst of pre-feminist pique, literally slams the door on her hothouse existence. Supporting Ms. Bloom are Anthony Hopkins, Sir Ralph Richardson, Denholm Elliott and Dame Edith Evans. Held out of general release when it was first made in 1973 when it was squeezed off the marketplace by the competing Jane Fonda version, A Doll's House enjoyed its widest distribution upon its 1989 reissue. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

    My class and I read the play and then watched the movie. The movie compliments the play, unlike some pieces of literature that are made into movies.

    The film stays true to Ibsen's play. It is well acted. I would recommend it.

    A rather run of the mill play. Nothing special in my opinion.
