Trivia
The Battle of Bosworth is made up of stock footage from the original Universal version of Tower of London (1939).

Goofs
When Price falls off his horse near the end of the film, the camera is much too close--the face of his stunt double is clearly visible.

Quotes
Mistress Shore: [as a ghost, showing the whip lashes on her bare back to Richard of Gloucester] Wouldn't you rather look at my back? Is it not attractive as a woman's back should be?

Crazy credits
No credit is given to Robert N. Lee, who wrote the 1939 original, nor William Shakespeare, from whose "Richard III" this was freely adapted.

Edited from Tower of London (1939)

Do Not Mock Me!

'Tower of London' is fictionalized historical horror film that accounts the rise and fall of King Richard III. The film itself is above average '60s horror stuff, but it is elevate by Vincent Price's sleazy and sinister portrayal of King Richard, fighting for the right to throne and battling his own growing madness. The fans of Price will definitely be pleased - one of the few actors who can look terrifying while being over the top hammy. With 'Tower of London' Roger Corman proved he can handle more Shakespearian stuff pretty well.

Not the greatest work from them both, Corman and Price, but still worthy enough that hour and twenty minutes doesn't feel wasted one bit.
