Richard III (1995)

Though the story remains faithful to Shakespeare's play about the ambitious and twisted Richard of Gloucester, it is set in London during an alternate timeline of the World War II era. Richard's evil plans are told with parallels to the fascism that ruled Europe under Adolf Hitler and Benito Mussolini. The movie also draws parallels to the rise of British fascist leader Oswald Mosley and the British Union of Fascists of the 1930s.
