A superlative version of Shakespeare’s play about the murderous hunchback and his plans to seize the throne of England. Beautifully realized by star-director Laurence Olivier. A magnificent film brilliantly acted.
RICHARD III is a superb and bold achievement, most honorable to Shakespeare and to Laurence Olivier, the actor-producer-director. It is something of a cinematographic miracle.
