This 1973 film screams "Seventies!" at you, from the very filmstock and music of the opening titles through to the scene where Vincent Price is disguised in a ginger afro and medallion.
Price plays Edward Lionheart, the hammiest actor this side of a prime Paul Darrow, killing off his critics in a variety of Shakespearean themed vignettes. Diana "Avengers" Rigg plays his daughter/accomplice while Ian "Avengers" Hendry is his nemesis - the manny who gave a "best actor" award to someone other than Lionheart, can you believe it?
This is Vincent Price's film, and there's not a scene he's in where he doesn't let you know it.
