YouTube video by siliconmountaintop Talking Heads - Born Under Punches - Rome, Italy - 1980

Listen:

"Stop Making Sense" is an entertaining film about David Byrne and his antics with a very gifted band.

But it's far from the most interesting way to see what Talking Heads were capable of.

Rome in 1980 is where you see what Talking Heads were capable of.

Ibsen - The Lady from the Sea (1953) Max Faber's 1953 adaptation of the play by Henrik Ibsen that, over three days in the summer of 1888, follows a lighthouse-keeper's daughter who is trapped in her marriage and longing for the sea.

The BBC has recently put their 1953 production of Ibsen’s 'The Lady from the Sea' on iPlayer. It is, I *think*, the second earliest surviving complete British TV drama, after 'It Is Midnight, Dr Schweitzer' from two months earlier.
