Storyline:

Famed European stage director Max Reinhardt brought his unique and charming screen adaptation of Shakespeare’s bewitching comedy to Los Angeles for a presentation at the famed Hollywood Bowl in the mid-1930s. Jack L. Warner was so impressed by the event that he brought Reinhardt to the studio to re-create the stage spectacular on the screen, with many of the most famous stars of the Warner Bros. stock company playing the key roles. The film is a visual triumph, featuring superb performances from James Cagney, Olivia de Havilland (in her screen debut), Dick Powell, Joe E. Brown, Mickey Rooney and others playing the mortals and immortals. The film was nominated for 4 Academy Awards, including Best Picture and won two (Best Cinematography and Best Film Editing). The legendary Reinhardt and Warner studio collaborators turn his unforgettable stage extravaganza into an exquisite movie, with Erich Wolfgang Korngold adapting the glorious Felix Mendelssohn score. The film has been fully-restored back to its original “roadshow” length version (including overture and exit music), having been digitally remastered from the film’s original nitrate camera negative.
