A Drama film released in 1970, King Lear runs 2h 17m and comes from Denmark. Soap2Day lists it with Peter Brook directing and Paul Scofield and Irene Worth in the cast. It holds 6.5/10 from 21 votes. King Lear is a proud man who solicits praise from his three daughters in return for inheritance of the kingdom. Daughters Goneril and Regan profess their affection vehemently. Cordelia, who does not respect the process her father has chosen, does not humor him. Lear's perceived rejection from Cordelia leads to her banishment, thus splitting the kingdom between the other two. This hasty decision becomes his fatal error.
