König Ödipus
1968
Oedipus the King is a 1967 film directed by Philip Saville based on the Athenian tragedy Oedipus Rex by Sophocles. The film boasts an all-star cast, including Christopher Plummer as Oedipus, Lilli Palmer as Jocasta, Orson Welles as Tiresias, Richard Johnson as Creon, Roger Livesey as the Shepherd and Donald Sutherland as the leading member of the Chorus.[1][2] Sutherland's voice, however, was dubbed by other actors, British actor Valentine Dyall and British actor Patrick Allen, though Allen's voice was uncredited.
The screenplay was originally based on Paul Roche's translation directly from the Greek published in the early 1950s. Saville's first theatrical effort, the film remained theatrical in nature, and is known for its intensive dialogue typical of an ancient play.[3][4] However, the film went a step further than the play, by actually showing, in flashback, the murder of Laius (Friedrich Ledebur). It also showed Oedipus and Jocasta in bed together, making love.
