Bis Peter Jackson die filmische Trilogie inszeniert hatte, galt J.R.R. Tolkiens „Der Herr der Ringe“ ja eigentlich als filmisch nicht umsetzbar. Wieso man das dachte, kann man an diesem TV-Relikt absehen, das nach Jahrzehnten des Verschlusshaltens wieder aufgetaucht ist. 1991 war der folgende Verfilmungsversuch im Staatsfernsehen der Sowjetunion ausgestrahlt worden. Einmalig, weil der Erfolg sich dann wohl doch nicht ganz einstellen wollte…
Leider gibt es keine Untertitel, aber vermutlich wird das eh niemand ernsthaft durchstehen wollen. Für einen schreckhaften Einblick langt es allemal und YouTuber Chris Staecker hat in den Kommentaren ein paar Timestamps für die beiden Clips gelassen.
