Annotation:
	Considers how Marcel Carné and Jacques Prévert's Les Enfants du paradis uses Othello in relation to "the history of Shakespeare on screen [and] address[es] its attitude toward Shakespeare." Argues that "Carné and Prévert's evocation of Shakespeare is designed to indicate the universality of the film's themes, even as at the same time Shakespeare is shown to be essentially French in sensibility. . . At another level, however, Shakespeare is evoked as a paragon of spoken drama, the antithesis of classist classical French theater and thus potentially a theater of the people to rival the pantomime."
