Murder In The Cathedral promo

Director of this trailer Maurice Kanareck says, "First version of a trailer for T.S. Eliot's 'Murder in the Cathedral'. The play was actually done as an outside broadcast from Canterbury Cathedral (as was the recording of the trailer) with Cyril Cusack as Beckett. Recorded on 2 inch open reel videotape there was no facility at the time for freeze framing. I was asked by the head of our department (Presentation) how I managed to freeze-frame the knights for the end title. Easy. Just ask the actors to stand still for 15 seconds! One the knights was Dennis Quilley, I recall."
