Description
"This comprehensive guide includes not only films of Shakespeare's plays but also stage performances captured on film, as well as movies based on or inspired by his life and works. This revised American edition, which contains thirty-four additional pages, covers three main categories: 'pure' Shakespeare: Films that are essentially direct versions of the original play, either in part or in whole; derivations: Films that use Shakespearean themes or plots but have altered other elements, such as dress, time, or place; and opera, ballet, and animated versions: Adaptations that cover the entire spectrum of filmed media." "From the Silent Era through today, this detailed directory contains information on each film, including year of production, director, lead players, and production company. When known, the book also lists the country of origin and language, emphasizing the international appeal of the great dramatist's works"--BOOK JACKET.
