  • A Midsummer Night's Dream (1935) is a film directed by Max Reinhardt and William Dieterle, produced by Henry Blanke and Hal Wallis, and adapted by Charles Kenyon and Mary C. McCall Jr from the play by William Shakespeare. The cast includes James Cagney as Nick Bottom, a teenage Mickey Rooney as Puck, Olivia de Havilland as Hermia, Joe E. Brown as Francis Flute, Dick Powell as Lysander and Victor Jory as Oberon. Many of the actors in this version had never performed Shakespeare before, and never would do so again, notably Cagney and Brown, who were nevertheless highly acclaimed for their performances in the film. All critics agreed that Dick Powell, who played Lysander, was horribly miscast, and Powell himself concurred with the critics' verdict. Felix Mendelssohn's music was used, but re-orchestrated by Erich Wolfgang Korngold. Not all of it was from the Midsummer Night's Dream music that Mendelssohn had composed in 1843. Other pieces used were excerpts from the Symphony No. 3 in A minor, the Songs without Words, and the Italian Symphony, among others. The ballet sequences featuring the fairies were choreographed by Bronislava Nijinska. The film won two Academy Awards: * Best Cinematography - Hal Mohr * Best Film Editing - Ralph Dawson It was nominated for: * Best Picture - Henry Blanke, producer* Best Assistant Director - Sherry Shourds Notably, Hal Mohr was not nominated for his work on the movie; he won the Oscar thanks to a grass-roots write-in campaign. The next year the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences declared that it would not accept write-in votes for the awards. The film was first released at 132 minutes, but was edited to 117 minutes for its general release run. The full 132 minute version was not seen again until it turned up on cable television in 1994. The film was then re-issued at its full length on VHS (its first video release was of the edited version). Later showings on Turner Classic Movies have restored the film's pre-credits Overture, and its Exit Music, neither of which had been heard since its 1935 road show presentations. In August, 2007, it was released on DVD for the first time as part of a box set known as "The Shakespeare Collection." (en)

  • Pjäsen En midsommarnattsdröm av William Shakespeare har filmats flera gånger, den första av dessa 1935. Filmen regisserades av Max Reinhardt och William Dieterle och producerades av Henry Blanke. Charles Kenyon och Mary C. McCall Jr. skrev filmmanuset baserat på pjäsen. Bland rollerna fanns James Cagney som Botten Vävare, Mickey Rooney som Puck, Olivia de Havilland som Hermia, Joe E. Brown som Flöjt Blåsbälgsflickare, Dick Powell som Lysander och Victor Jory som Oberon. Filmen innehöll en del av Felix Mendelssohns musik som ursprungligen skrevs till pjäsen, men den anpassades till en något annorlunda typ av orkester av Erich Wolfgang Korngold. Bronislava Nijinska gjorde koreografin till älvornas dans. En midsommarnattsdröm vann två Oscar: Hal Mohr vann priset för bästa foto, och Ralph Dawson för bästa klippning. (sv)
