Synopsis Films for the Humanities & Sciences provides the following commentary:
The elusive author of Waiting for Godot cooperated in the production of this portrait, which traces Becketts artistic life through his prose, plays, and poetry. Billie Whitelaw, Jack McGowran, and Patrick Magee -- Becketts great dramatic interpreters -- appear in selected extracts from the plays; Beckett specialist David Warrilow narrates a variety of texts.
