The 1995 film "Richard III", starring Ian MacKellen, Annette Bening, and Kristin Scott Thomas, redid the well-known Shakesperean history play in an interesting manner; it transformed the villainous Richard III into a fascist dictator who seizes power in Great Britain in the aftermath of a civil war in the 1930's. The setting afforded the opportunity to kit the actresses out in the height of Thirties fashion, including, naturally, opera gloves and other long gloves!
