Samuel Beckett: As the Story Was Told Free Online HD on Lookmovie. A two-part biography of the Irish writer Samuel Beckett.

He had settled in France before the Second World War, met fellow Irishman James Joyce, and begun writing. Patrick Magee's television performance of `Krapp's Last Tape' (1972) is interwoven with key landscapes and personalities from Beckett's life. The second part concludes the story of how Beckett finally began to connect with his audience, principally through `Waiting for Godot'.
