	CNN - Review: Midsummer - May 14, 1999
		The last serious attempt by Hollywood at this material was in 1935 when director Max Reinhardt (this was his one and only sound film) presented the miscast Mickey Rooney as Puck and Jimmy Cagney as Bottom.
		Still, it's smart counter-marketing to put this film up against "Star Wars." This romantic comedy is aimed directly at women in their 20s and 30s, the demographic group perhaps least likely to take the journey to a galaxy far, far away.
		Now, a new version of Shakespeare's comedy, "A Midsummer Night's Dream," is in a theater near you.

		Max Reinhardt's version of Shakespeare's comic fantasy with Mickey Rooney as Puck, James Cagney as Bottom and Joe E. Brown and Olivia De Haviland has a lovely fairy tale look and a wonderful score from themes in Mendelsohn's ballet.

	Shakespeare in the Cinema
		A Midsummer Night’s Dream, an exceptional combination of the great theatre director’s lifetime of involvement with the play, William Dieterle’s flair and cinematic experience and some surprisingly successful casting: Mickey Rooney plays Puck and James Cagney appears as Bottom.
		Shakespearean films have probably been most successful when they have found a distinctive visual language to underpin—and often replace—the theatrical methods of the original plays and when they have a vision of the story and its world to communicate.
		Romeo and Juliet—were romantic spectacles designed to enhance and exploit the appeal of their star performers.

	shakespeare
		One of the pottiest movies ever made in Hollywood- a loose rendition of Shakespeare's play, with some extraordinary performances from James Cagney (Bottom), Olivia de Havilland (Hermia), Dick Powell (Lysander) and Mickey Rooney as Puck.
		He also knew nothing about camerawork, so Dieterle was brought in to look after this.
		His was the leisurely approach of the European theatre: for example, he often didn't turn up at the studio until early afternoon.

	Shakespeare Magazine ~ The Dark Pleasures of Trevor Nunn's Twelfth Night
		The astonishing 1935 Warner Brothers A Midsummer Night’s Dream, with James Cagney as Bottom and Mickey Rooney as Puck, is available again on video, but there is not much else.
		In its consistent intelligence Twelfth Night seems to me to be the model future filmmakers looking towards Shakespearean comedy would be best advised to follow.
		Nunn has chosen to set the film in a 19th-century Illyria (actually mostly filmed in Cornwall) because it is a world where the gender gap is strongly seen both in the extreme contrast of clothing (Nunn calls it "the dress silhouettes") and in social attitudes.
