The Price is Low
20 August 2007
Vincent Price fails to illuminate Richard III - possibly this is due to the direction of Roger Corman, and the resources available to the filmmakers. It's interesting to watch Mr. Price and the others attempt this odd version of Shakespeare; if you're not a fan of either, you probably won't enjoy this "Tower of London". Mr. Price as Richard kills many in his quest for the throne. Some of the deaths are (suggestively) quite disturbing, but the victims' "ghosts" are incredibly silly-looking. They act silly, too. The hero and heroine are played by Robert Brown and Joan Freeman. Their characterizations are okay; they seemed to know what their roles are and what kind of movie they are performing in, unlike some others in the cast.

*** Tower of London (10/24/62) Roger Corman ~ Vincent Price, Robert Brown, Joan Freeman
