@honeybee21799 actually you still do- because Shakespeare isn't history.

Though I am a die hard Ricardian-- I love anything having to do with Richard III and his various portrayals in media. I've heard from many places that this is the best film of its kind-- so thanks so much for sharing!

Tnkx alot for sharing friend :) i really like these old medieval films. Although they lack today's special effects & acting they still have that something that you don't find in today's movies. I can't really put my finger on it, maybe its more European spirit & dedication or better costumes or much more detailed knights.. For ex i just watched Spartacus:Venegeance ep 1 awesome effects, amazing acting but all focus is on the actors, some crappy huts in the background or all else animated.

What an excellent movie with an outstanding cast and directed by the great Sir Laurence Olivier.

Thank you for adding this. We are using this for a homeschool history class.

I don't like how all the characters look so old in this movie. Edward IV was only in his 40's when he died and Richard I believe was only 32 when he was killed, so at this point they all shouldn't look as old as they do lol.
