A Midsummer Night's Dream, Dieterle and Reinhardt, 1935

The iron tongue of midnight

hath told twelve; lovers to bed;

'tis almost fairy time.

-William Shakespeare, A Midsummer Night's Dream

Gigi Thibodeau said...: One of my favorite plays! I've never seen this version--what gorgeous images.; June 23, 2009 at 8:15 AM
Margaret Pangert said...: Oh, rapture! This is my favorite blog, Gretchen! I just love it.; June 23, 2009 at 12:17 PM
Gretchen said...: Gigi: Mine, too! I saw the play years ago in London-- so enchanting. This particular version is wonderful; It is difficult to find-- which is strange, given the cast of stars: Olivia de Haveland, James Cagney, Billy Barty, Mickey Rooney... Midsummer's Eve Blessings!; June 23, 2009 at 12:55 PM
Gretchen said...: Margaret: Thank you! (Midsummer's Eve Blessings to you, as well.); June 23, 2009 at 12:58 PM
Gigi Thibodeau said...: I'll have to track it down! Thanks for the tip.; June 23, 2009 at 1:00 PM
