RICHARD III Laurence Olivier Claire Bloom John Gielgud 1955 Remastered 4 K

1955 British Technicolor film adaptation of William Shakespeare s historical play of the same name, also incorporating elements from his Henry VI, Part 3. The prologue of the film states that history without its legends would be a dry matter indeed, implicitly admitting to the artistic licence that Shakespeare applied to the events of the time.
