Laurence Olivier, as director, producer,
and star, transforms Shakespeare's monstrous villain into a magnetic and
malevolent protagonist. You'll almost cheer the brilliant villainy as Richard,
through a murderous set of machinations, steals the crown from his brother
Edward. One of the finest adaptations of Shakespeare to film, Richard III
features fabulous supporting performances by Ralph Richardson and John
Gielgud.
The exclusive Criterion Collection edition includes an audio
commentary by director/playwright Russ Lees. In Technicolor.
