Title: Run for the hills
Review: I'm only giving this execrable film one star because it's the lowest rating allowed. I love this play, and I love the 1935 version. I assumed (so wrongly) that with modern technology and a cast like this that the movie would be wonderful and magical. Quite the contrary. Leaden, pedestrian, turgid and utterly without charm, this goes on my list of the ten worst movies I've ever seen. Whose idea was it to try to turn Bottom into a sullen whiner? Why is it obligatory for him to writhe around with Titania? Was it necessary to film it in the basement of Studio B? Spare yourself. Don't waste your time on this trash; rather, get the 1935 version. Even in black and white, a single frame of it is more lyrical, lovely and ethereal than all of this monstrosity.
