The plot revolves around the amorous battle between king Oberon (Victor Jory) and queen Titania (Anita Louise) of a fairy kingdom, and the humans who are drawn into their sport. A tour de force of imagery, chicanery, and magic--especially when the woodland's elves and fairies intervene. Stars James Cagney as Bottom, the hapless weaver who is turned into a donkey before the night is through. The incredible cast also boasts 11-year-old Mickey Rooney as the mischievious fairy Puck, with his penchant for casting spells on the "real Folk", and, in her screen debut, the exquisite Olivia De Havilland as a Grecian beauty involved in an ill-fated romance with the very mortal Dick Powell. Everyone is over the top with the acting and when the wood fairies, unicorns, elves, etc. show up it gets even better. Especially the stunt wire work with the fairies flying.
