RCA Victor issued several spoken word albums in the 1950s and 60s, notably the soundtracks of the films "Richard III", "A Man for All Seasons" and "The Taming of the Shrew", as well as complete versions of the National Theatre of Great Britain stage productions of "Othello" (starring Laurence Olivier) and "Much Ado About Nothing" (starring Maggie Smith, who also played Desdemona in the Olivier "Othello"). None of these albums have appeared on compact disc, but the films of "Richard III", "A Man For All Seasons", "The Taming of the Shrew" and the filmed version of Olivier's "Othello" have all been issued on DVD.
