Fresh from the success of Henry V and Dead Again, British actor/director Kenneth Branagh recharged his creative batteries with a 23-minute short subject. Swan Song is a faithful adaptation of a one-act play by Anton Chekhov.

Richard Briers costars as Gielgud's sounding board. Filmed on location at London's Criterion Theatre, Swan Song was nominated for a "best short subject" Academy Award.
