110. The Reduced Shakespeare Company
|
|
|
Described as "intellectual vaudeville" by The New York Times, the madcap spoof The Reduced Shakespeare Company became the longest running comedy on the London stage.
The complete works of William Shakespeare are presented in an
hilariously abridged fashion, including the dispensing of all the Bard's
comedies in one fell swoop (because the tragedies are funnier). Othello
is presented as a rap song, Titus Andronicus becomes a cooking
show, and there's much more zaniness as well. "This trio of modern
Marx brothers will keep you in stitches" (The Boston Herald).

113. Richard III (1912)
|
James Keane |
1912 |
||||||||||||
|
Believed to be the earliest surviving American
feature film, this historic silent movie was also the first
feature-length adaptation of Shakespeare's work produced anywhere in the
world. William Buffum, a film collector and former projectionist from
Oregon, preserved the nitrate reels in his basement for more than 35
years before donating the film to the AFI.
Unaware of the film's full significance, Buffum's meticulous care
kept it in near-mint condition. A major production for its time, the
film stars Frederick Warde, a popular Shakespearean actor of the day, in
the title role of the cold-hearted king. The AFI restored the fading
color tints for the film and commissioned a musical score by legendary
film composer Ennio Morricone. "...an amazing surprise...The fact
that the print is in nearly mint condition is nothing short of a
miracle" (Martin Scorsese). 59 mins.

loosely veiled representation of England in the 1930s, where pomp and
fascism seem eerily well matched.
