I liked "A Midsummer Night's Dream" (1935) to an extent, but it did have its flaws. First the positives, I always liked Olivia de Havilland and she is good here as usual, the music is very nice, the cinematography and effects are very good for its age, the sets and costumes are likewise good. Now the negatives, the film goes on a bit too long, parts should have been edited down, especially the ending skit got to be really annoying with the constant laughing and goofs. The Puck laughing also became grating and too frequent. This is worth a watch though if you like Shakespeare, I am not a big fan of his, but I can appreciate his work to an extent, especially the comedies. My rating: 5/10.
