Customer Reviews

Great version of Chekhov's classic!
This is a rarely seen videotape recording of the 1965 Broaway presentation of Anton Chekhov's classic play "The Three Sisters". Geraldine Page, Kim Stanley, and Sandy Dennis are sensational in the title roles: three equally unhappy women who believe their dreary lives will improve if they can just return to their childhood home in Moscow. Shelley Winters co-stars as their nagging, irritating sister-in-law who doesn't do much to make their lives easier. All in all, this is a faithful rendition of the Chekhov play, but the all-star cast is what makes the film so enjoyable.

The Three Sisters
You don't see acting like this any more these days. Kim Stanley gives a brillant performance as does Geraldine Page, Sandy Dennis and Shelley Winters. Highly recommend this if you appreciate acting as an art form.
