What happens
Tower of London is a 1962 American historical gothic horror film directed by Roger Corman, produced by Gene Corman, and starring Vincent Price, Michael Pate, Joan Freeman, and Robert Brown. It tells a highly fictionalized account of the rise to power and eventual downfall of King Richard III of England, freely combining elements derived from the plots of Shakespeare's plays Richard III and Macbeth. Aside from the historical setting, the movie is not connected to the 1939 film of the same name featuring Price, though the film does reuse some footage of its battle scenes. The film was released by United Artists on October 23, 1962. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
