I saw this movie years ago and I suppose now is a great time to share it with all of you. 🙂 Any way, here is the 1955 film, Richard III, based on William Shakespeare’s play and directed by Sir Laurence Olivier. The film stars Mr. Ralph Richardson, Ms. Claire Bloom, Mr. Cedric Hardwicke, and of course, Sir Laurence Olivier.
Or, you can watch this production — again based on William Shakespeare’s play — directed by Ms. Jane Howell.
