Sands Films Cinema Club has selected 5 very different films out of several hundreds based on Shaw's plays.
Bernard Shaw wrote more than sixty plays, including major works such as Man and Superman(1902), Pygmalion (1913) and Saint Joan (1923). With his lifelong provocative socialism he delivered a string of stage successes with contemporary satire, comedy and even historical allegory. But Shaw was a theatre man and remained very suspicious of films producers offering to adapt his work to film. Not without reason he feared the hijack of his subtle messages.
The Apple Cart (1975)
Shaw's comedy of ideologies looks forty years to the future at the impossibility of government as the British cabinet and monarchy face a day of "crisis" for the country. King Magnus is happy to engage a prime minister seeking to transform the nation into a constitutional monarchy, but who truly rules in this democracy: the king, the government or the businessmen? And do any of them care about the people?
