 This film adaptation of Shakespeare s famous play is set into a hypothetical 1930 s Europe. As sneering, leering Richard of Gloucester s ruthless machinations bring him ever nearer the throne of England, royal blood is mercilessly spilt. Finally, only one foe remains to challenge his grasping claim--valiant Richmond! Will he prevail? Heavy Nazi-like pageantry and iconography color this modern adaptation of a classic Shakespearean History.
