	The Criterion Collection: Richard III
		Laurence Olivier’s Richard III was the last and best of the trilogy of Shakespeare films directed by and starring the late actor and filmmaker.
		Shot in sixteen weeks during late 1954 and early 1955, Richard III was the final, crowning glory of the British studio system and the end of the great cycle of British films aimed at international audiences that had helped spawn the careers of David Lean, Michael Powell and Emeric Pressburger, Carol Reed, and Olivier himself.
		Richard III came about from Olivier’s interest in filming Macbeth——the proposed production would have starred Olivier, with Vivien Leigh as Lady Macbeth, and was to have been filmed in authentic Scottish locations.

	EL 423 Richard III
		In Loncraine's rendition of King Richard III, certain filmic devices are used to accentuate the physical act of the murders rather than the psychological progressions that lead up to them, or the struggles of conscience that Shakespeare emphasizes in his original text.
		Olivier's Richard so well manipulates those around him, that if we, the audience, were not intimate confidants to his ambition (a relationship established by way of direct-address shots), we would be as duped as his victims into believing him a pious devotee, an infatuated suitor, and a doting uncle.
		Though his ruthless actions through the first three acts bring Richard to the cusp of glory, it is not until he secures the "election" of the people in III.7 that he is firmly enthroned, and that their complicity in his rise is made most explicit.

		Richard III had to be cut to make it on the screen, in order to be turned into a visual rather than auditory experience, given the sensibilities of modern cinema-goers.
		Richard III's addresses to the audience have a farcical character at times which didn't sit well into the overall scheme of things and I'd prefer a darker tone to the whole film considering that this is such a horrific play.
		Richard's and Elizabeth's final spar over her daughter's hand takes place in the train-wagon serving as his field headquarters; and we actually see that same princess wed to his arch-enemy Richmond (Dominic West), King Henry VII-to-be and founder of the Tudor dynasty, with lines taken from Richmond's closing monologue.

	Richard III (1955)
		Yet even as he consolidates his power, with the inestimable help of the Duke of Buckingham (Ralph Richardson), the paranoid Richard III is sowing the seeds of his ultimate downfall.
		The third and final Shakespearean film directed by Olivier, Richard III lacks the sweep of his Henry V (1944); nor does it have the psychological depth and brooding atmospheric flair of Olivier's Oscar-winning Hamlet (1948).
		Such quibbles aside, Richard III is nonetheless a remarkable achievement that features one of Olivier's greatest performances, right up there with his work in Wuthering Heights (1939), Hamlet, The Entertainer (1960), and what would be his Shakespearean swan song, the BBC's King Lear (1984).
