A very vague overview of Shakespeare's life...

Carey Wilson narrates a short film about William Shakespeare. It falls far short of being a full biography of the famous writer born in 1564 and whose boyhood ambitions had him dreaming of fame and fortune once his plays were staged in London.

He was an actor, writer and stage director whose richest triumph was having his plays win the approval of Queen Elizabeth I, at a time when all of the roles were played by men--a period covered quite authentically in "Shakespeare in Love." A very brief tribute to Shakespeare that was obviously an MGM promotional short timed to appear in connection with its forthcoming production of "Romeo and Juliet" ('36) starring Norma Shearer and Leslie Howard. Scenes from the film are briefly viewed.
