Erich Wolfgang Korngold adapts Felix Mendelssohn’s music. OTHELLO (1965) Laurence Olivier’s bravura portrayal of the proud general brought low remains a screen touchstone in this National Theatre of Great Britain staging. With Maggie Smith as faithful Desdemona and Frank Finlay as scheming Iago. ROMEO AND JULIET (1936) Norma Shearer and Leslie Howard are divided by family and united by love in director George Cukor’s lavish retelling of the world’s foremost romantic tale. With John Barrymore as a witty, swaggering Mercutio. ANTONY AND CLEOPATRA (1972) Charlton Heston plays a vigorous Marc Antony and directs a thoughtful and colorful adaptation of the fatal attraction that ensnares the worldly-wise Roman soldier and the alluring Egyptian ruler (Hildegard Neil as Cleoptara).
