It was directed by Alan Scheider - who also directed the first ever production of Beckett's seminal work in the USA. That was something of a commercial and critical disaster: it opened at the Coconut Grove in Florida - where it had been advertised as the "the laugh hit of two continents" - and starred Burt Lahr, the "Cowardly Lion" from "The Wizard of Oz". The first night audience was clearly not expecting the sort of existential drama that Beckett had written - and many of them walked out during the performance. It was also comprehensively panned in press reviews. However, the production subsequently transferred to Broadway. It performed reasonably well there - but, by then, Schneider had been replaced as its director. The cast is different for this TV production, but this tape makes clear that Scheider had a deep appreciation and understanding of the piece - and how it should be played. His direction is seldom obtrusive, but never moves far from the heart of the drama, and there is a fluidity and assurance in his use of cameras which remains very impressive. Of course, Scheider was helped by a very strong cast - who not only display a high level of performance skill, but also show a convincing grasp of the play's underlying themes. This tape was recorded almost half-a-century ago, and there are inevitably a few technical glitches - but what comes across is the startlingly contemporary nature of both Beckett's work, and this production. Review: Love - I loved this story and have analyzed it for several English classes from high school and college ## Images ![Waiting for Godot - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/51TABzNPqbL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ WAITING FOR GODOT *by H***C on August 20, 2009* This TV production comes from 1961, and features Burgess Meredith and the great Zero Mostel.

This version feels slightly dated, and not because it's in black and white (whereas the BOF version is in colour). It feels slightly overdone and a little too clownish. It's worth watching but if you have to choose one version to buy, go with the newer BOF film. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.pt/products/71484725-waiting-for-godot](https://www.desertcart.pt/products/71484725-waiting-for-godot) --- *Product available on Desertcart Portugal* *Store origin: PT* *Last updated: 2026-04-23*
