OTHELLO

“Orson Welles' magnificent screening of Shakespeare's immortal tragedy”

Manipulated by his jealous ensign Iago, the Moorish general Othello is driven to believe that his new wife Desdemona is unfaithful, setting in motion a chain of deception, jealousy, and violence that leads to tragedy.
