Richard III is a 1955 British Technicolor film adaptation of William Shakespeare's historical play of the same name, also incorporating elements from his "Henry VI, Part 3".
 It was directed and produced by Sir Laurence Olivier, who also played the lead role.
 The cast includes many noted Shakespearean actors, including a quartet of knights.

 The prologue of the film states that history without its legends would be "a dry matter indeed", implicitly admitting to the artistic licence that Shakespeare applied to the events of the time.
