One can only hope that someone will post a better quality print of this magnificent film! Director Max Reinhardt was the greatest talent of the German theatre before the Third Reich caused him to immigrate to America. And that music by Mendelsohn - has there ever been a more perfect evocation in music of Shakespeare and the Faerie World?

You can get this on DVD now. Everyone should see it. I love Victor Jory.

Is this even on DVD?

so sad, when you consider how much effort they must have put into the screenplay.. and how little the camera conveys?

SF...We'll try to get the Cagney segment posted here.RRR

Yes, we need Shakespeare movie music on YouTube, especially when it's as good as the Mendelssohn from Reinhardt's film. It would also be good to have Cagney doing Bottom in Pyramus and Thisbe. (Someone else has posted the casting from act one.)

SF:Maybe we'll be adding some more of the movie here.And what about that sweet ditty/round from Kenneth Branagh's Much Ado About Nothing?Is that on ShakespeareFlix? I hope so.Thanks for the note and link.RRR
