Judi Dench , "The Cherry Orchard", 1962 - part 1
A brilliant interpretation of Chekhov's "Cherry Orchard", acted by a cast of incomparable artists. John Gielgud (Gaev), Peggy Ashcroft (Mdme Ranevsky), Dorthy Tutin (Varya), Judi Dench (Anya), and talented others make up this cast. Directed by Michel Saint-Denis. Mr. Saint-Denis was noted as a director that worked by way of humiliation. In this case, Ms. Dench was known to be chosen as this productions "humiliation guinea pig". Trumphantly overcome are all traces of directorial humiliation tactics. Brillantly developed and acted by all.

Shakespeare: "Macbeth" (Judi Dench) - sleepwalking scene
Judi Dench ... Lady Macbeth
Denyse Alexander ... Gentlewoman
John Woodnutt ... Doctor
from the 1979 TV version of the Trevor Nunn production by the Royal Shakespeare Company
from "Shakespeare's Work" (1847) by Gulian Crommelin Verplanck:
It was, I believe, Madame de Staël, who said, somewhat extravagantly, that the smell is the most poetical of the senses. It is true that the more agreeable associations of this sense are fertile in pleasing suggestions of placid, rural beauty, and gentle pleasures. Shakespeare, Spencer, Ariosto, and Tasso abound in such allusions.
Milton, especially, who luxuriates in every variety of "odorous sweets" and "grateful smells", delighted sometimes to dwell on the "sweets of groves and fields", the native perfumes of his own England--"The smell of grain, or tedded grass, or kine, Or Dairy"-- and sometimes pleasing his imagination with the "gentle gales" laden with "balmy spoils" of the East; and breathing--"Sabean odours from the spicy shores of Araby the blest".
But the smell has never been successfully used as a means of impressing the imagination with terror, pity, or any of the deeper emotions, except in this dreadful sleep-walking scene of the gulty Queen, and in one parallel scene of the Greek drama, as wildly terrible as this. It is that passage of the 'Agamemnon' of Aeschylus, where the captive prophetess, Cassandra, wrapt in visionary inspiration, scents first the smell of blood, and then the vapours of the tomb breathing from the palace of Atrides, as ominous of his apporaching murder.
go here to see that scene of Cassandra from 'Agamemnon' (the chorus speaks of her smelling):

Judi Dench, "Talking to a Stranger" - 1966, part 1
John Hopkins' four part British TV drama mini-series, masterfully written to give a glimpse of each of the four family members in this 'less than perfect' family. Excerpts, parts 1 & 2, introduce Terry (Judi Dench), as sister and daughter of this family. This could easily be considered a 'Master Class' for sharp characterization, mastery of nuance, and sheer speed of delivery. Judi Dench's work in this mini-series is simply stunning & electric...and the way to win a BAFTA.
Length: 563
Rating: 5.00 (8 ratings)
