King Lear is the dramatic film adaptation of Shakespeare's stage play about a powerful king who makes a fateful decision and loses everything. It all begins when Lear (Orson Welles) makes a strange demand of his three daughters: they are each to tell him how much they love him, and he will dole out his land and power according to their replies. Lear's youngest and favorite daughter, Cordelia (Natasha Parry), answers simply, but honestly, and in doing so angers her father. Consequently, Cordelia is barred from her share of the land and banished from the kingdom. Lear's two eldest daughters, Goneril (Beatrice Straight) and Regan (Margaret Phillips) lavish false praises upon their father and are thus rewarded with his empire - a fatal mistake that Lear will soon bitterly regret… (Echo Bridge Entertainment)
