Richard III (1955) - Laurence Olivier, Ralph Richardson, John Gielgud, Claire Bloom

Director, producer, and star Laurence Olivier brings Shakespeare’s masterpiece of Machiavellian villainy to ravishing cinematic life. Olivier is diabolically captivating as Richard, Duke of Gloucester, who, through a series of murderous machinations, steals the crown from his brother Edward. Filmed in VistaVision and Technicolor, Richard III is one of the most visually inspired of all big-screen Shakespearean adaptations.
