TV review - Hallmark Hall of Fame - "St Joan" (1967) ***

One of Shaw's most famous plays isn't as good as his comedies, for me at any rate, but it well done here. The cast includes Theodore Bikel, Roddy McDowall, Maurice Evans, Leo Genn and a young Genevieve Bujold as Joan - she's very impressive. Joan is sympathetically depicted but is still barking mad; Shaw seems more at home with the squabbling aristocrats.
