Tower of London (1962, Roger Corman)
The Stop Button Posted by Andrew Wickliffe on Sep 15, 2019
Tower of London almost makes it. The film gets through the low budget, which has a static picture of a model Tower of London instead of a picture of the real Tower for establishing shots, obvious backdrops, not great makeup to age or deform its cast, and the occasional reused footage. Director Corm read more

Richard III and Disinformation in TOWER OF LONDON (1939)
Virtual Virago Posted by Jennifer Garlen on May 8, 2019
One probably doesn't go looking for timely political commentary in a film like Tower of London (1939), which offers a mashup of history and horror in its retelling of the bloody rise and fall of England's most reviled monarch.

Classic Films in Focus: TOWER OF LONDON (1939)
Virtual Virago Posted by Jennifer Garlen on Jul 18, 2016
Tower of London (1939) lacks the poetic grandeur of Shakespeare's Richard III, but the story remains more or less the same, with an atmosphere of horror injected into the historical drama through the appearance of genre icons like Boris Karloff and Vincent Price.
