Remarks and general Information in German: »For my first TV appearance I was well protected with a beard and sustained by some pretty wonderful blank verse.« (Orson Welles) Die Unmittelbarkeit des neuen Mediums faszinierte Welles, da das Stück nach zwei Wochen Proben dann in einer Live-Inszenierung von mehreren Kameras aufgezeichnet wurde. Da die Aufführung nicht von Werbespots unterbrochen werden sollte, wurde eine Rahmenmoderation von Alistair Cooke angefügt, in der die Sponsoren ins Bild gerückt wurden, um ihre Werbung unterzubringen. Laut Frank Brady sahen 15 Millionen Zuschauer KING LEAR. (Filmmuseum München)
