Review – Tower of London (1962)

For some reason Vincent Price and Roger Corman set out to improve Richard III by shooting it as a Corman-style exploitation movie. Unfortunately, replacing Shakespeare’s beautiful language with extra ghosts and torture sequences wasn’t exactly a step in the right direction. The cast is able enough, but the script provides few interesting twists or memorable dialogue exchanges. A couple of the torture sequences are engaging in an “ew!” way, but otherwise the Bard’s version is better. Mildly amusing
