Cannon did more than one Shakespeare movie back in the day. The difference between the two, however, is quite staggering. The other we covered is a very loose adaption of King Lear that didn't quite cut the mustard. Today's movie is quite different.
This adaption of Othello is not only very faithful, but also an operatic version that remains one of the most popular versions of the play to this day. Why exactly is that the case? You'll have to five into today's episode to learn just why! Let us just say that it transfers to the medium of film surprisingly well.
