i always thought this must have been a nightmare to dub in a foreign language. if this did happen–instead of sub-titles–imagine how the dialogue would sound in Japanese, Italian Russian, etc. Also, I’ve read that much of the dialogue was improvised on the spot.
It may have been fine-tuned on the spot, but the last 2/3s stays pretty close to the play — minus the swearing.
