Richard III Movie Review 1912

According to the American Film Institute, this is the oldest surviving American feature film and, in 1912, the most ambitious adaptation of Shakespeare ever attempted. Despite changes in conventions, it's still a lively work that's brightened considerably by a new Ennio Morricone score.
