Introduced by Donna Copeland from the Houston Film Critics Society

Stage producer Max Reinhardt resolved that Shakespeare’s A Midsummer Night’s Dream, with its visual imagery and fantasy elements, would make a delightful film. Olivia de Havilland appeared as Hermia in a local production of the play that Reinhardt saw, and he insisted that she be his screen version of the same character. For her feature-film debut, Reinhardt cast de Havilland opposite Dick Powell as Lysander. Also starring in this extravagant rendition of the popular tale are James Cagney as Bottom and Mickey Rooney as Puck.
