This was the first (and so far the only) major theatrical film version of the play in English. Previous productions of the play in English with sound had all been made for television.

It was nominated for the Academy Award for Best Actress (Glenda Jackson). The film was also screened at the 1976 Cannes Film Festival, but wasn't entered into the main competition.

  • Critical reception

    In The New York Times, Vincent Canby praised Jackson's performance, and concluded, "the physical production is handsome, and Mr. Nunn is most successful in preserving the claustrophobic nature of the play without creating a static film. Hedda is an imaginative, intelligent film version of a play that I wasn't breathlessly waiting to see at this moment." Judith Crist of Saturday Review wrote, "... a startlingly fresh and perceptive version written and directed by Trevor Nunn and ingeniously interpreted by Jackson. Seldom has a classic been so well served."
