If Price hadn't already been cast as a Batman villain (Egghead... ok, an Ant-Man villain, whatever), his Edward Lionheart would have been perfect. This malcontent Shakespearean actor murders (or psychologically maims) his critics only in ways described in the Bard's plays... with a bit of creative license. He even has an army of crazy henchpeople! It's hilarious camp, and for a Shakespeare buff like myself, great fun trying to figure out what atrocity Lionheart will think of next. Diana Rigg plays his sexy daughter and she gets to dress up as well. It's a hoot. I'm afraid it may taint my viewing of any of the plays from here on out, trying to think what ghastly crime might have been committed with it as a template. 8 years 10 months ago -

After a lot of thought I have have decided that Vincent Price's performance in this film is my favourite performance of anybody in anything 9 years 3 months ago
