About Terence Rattigan's "The Browning Version" (which I think is the great teacher-play of all time), the first movie version starred Michael Redgrave, and later it was made for TV starring John Gielgud in one of his best performances. Of course the real poet in the play is Aeschylus; the "Browning version" is of "Agamemnon."

And speaking of T.S. Eliot, why hasn't a movie been
made of "Cats" - or have I missed it?
