DESCRIPTION
Shakespeare's intertwined love polygons begin to get complicated from the start--Demetrius and Lysander both want Hermia but she only has eyes for Lysander. Bad news is, Hermia's father wants Demetrius for a son-in-law. On the outside is Helena, whose unreturned love burns hot for Demetrius. Hermia and Lysander plan to flee from the city under cover of darkness but are pursued by an enraged Demetrius (who is himself pursued by an enraptured Helena). In the forest, unbeknownst to the mortals, Oberon and Titania (King and Queen of the faeries) are having a spat over a servant boy. The plot twists up when Oberon's head mischief-maker, Puck, runs loose with a flower which causes people to fall in love with the first thing they see upon waking. Throw in a group of labourers preparing a play for the Duke's wedding (one of whom is given a donkey's head and Titania for a lover by Puck) and the complications become fantastically funny.
Sinopsis by IMDB
Probably giddy with their Depression-era profits, MGM went on a 'culture' binge starting in 1934 or so, adapting famous novels in a bid for the kind of upscale notices that lead to Academy Award nominations. Warner's retaliatory effort in this sweepstakes is 1935's A Midsummer Night's Dream, a wondrous adaptation of Shakespeare's play set to the music of Felix Mendelssohn and dressed up with phenomenally successful special effects. Famed stage director Max Reinhardt had floored Tinseltown with a concert and dance version of Dream at the Hollywood Bowl, and Warners signed him almost instantly to recreate the experience on film. The movie is famous for its high production values and excellent, if wildly eccentric, star turns by James Cagney and Joe E. Brown. The result is funny and beautiful -- and truly magical.
