Summary:
Produced as a vehicle for Frederick Warde, a legendary stage actor of the 19th century, "Richard III" was the most ambitious Shakespearean adaptation to date. The film not only attempts to honor the intricacies of the original play, it flavors the drama with spectacular crowd scenes and rich color tints.
