    Gee, no one mentioned "Additional dialogue by Sam Taylor". Taylor?
    Oy, a butcher he should be. On 7th ave. they wouldn't let him.

    Glad to see that tip re Bill Murray's Polonius. Pacino's Looking for Richard was admirably open about Pacino's own shortcomings, Vanessa's "the iambic pentamer of the soul" was plain embrassing but the black homeless guy gave the best appreciation of
    Shakespeare's words EVER and it was my first introduction to Spacey who WAS Buckingham. Devious bastard.
    Also, Ben Wishaw's BBC Richard II was heartbreaking - check out YouTube. I loved Zeffirelli's R & J and Hamlet - the latter for the supporting cast like Paul Scofield's Ghost, but Mel Gibson was better than you might expect. I like Olivier and Brangh's
    Henry V for different reasons but Branagh's Much Ado, which I first saw in Florence, is a delight.

    My favorite remains Ian McKellen’s Richard III.
