Thanks Jim for answering 95 and 96! He's 3 for 3!

At the close of the Middle Ages, we return once more to England, where this king fights to retain his throne.

Thou sayest well, Amy!

They say history is written by the victors, and the Tudors has no great love for Richard III. He has been villified and made into a murderous, conniving, deformed monster of a man over the centuries. There is, however, a Society dedicated to challenging the prevailing view of Richard.

Wow, what an interesting role choice for Al Pacino. How was the movie? I can't imagine him doing anything poorly....did he do the role justice?
It was more of an inquiry into the role of Richard III and Al Pacino's fascination with the character. Only certain scenes from the play are shown, with cuts to experts and some discussions. My guess is he didn't have the patience to act out the whole play and only wanted to do certain scenes. Interesting to watch, though. He fits well into the role.
