Richard III (1955)
England 1485: Der machtgierige Richard von Gloucester sieht mit Widerwillen, wie sein Bruder zum englischen König Edward IV. gekrönt wird. Der körperlich verunstaltete Richard möchte selbst auf den Thron und agiert daher skrupellos, um sich mit allen Mitteln den Weg zu ebnen. Dabei spinnt er Intrigen und schreckt auch nicht davor zurück, seinen Bruder Clarence des Hochverrats zu bezichtigen und ihm gegenüber das Todesurteil aussprechen zu lassen ...
