This video source provides a complete movie of Oedipus the King that aired on TV starring Michael Pennington, Claire Bloom, and John Shrapnel.

The movie is very well done in that it provides a look into how Greece might have looked at the time of Oedipus. The costumes represent the style of the time and the art work and architecture are typical of Ancient Greek. Also, the actors portraying the characters really capture the essence of Greek society. This video clip gives a lot of ideas and concepts that would be interesting to think about when planning a production of Oedipus.
