Cinema's most revisited plotline is the Cinderella fantasy. Since its first incarnation, Cinderella and The Fairy Godmother in 1878, there have been 103 retellings - some romantic, some pornographic, some operatic and some parodic. The most recent was the millenial teleplay Cinderella, starring Kathleen Turner as the wicked stepmother. The most filmed author is Shakespeare with Hamlet (80), Romeo and Juliet (37), Macbeth (30), A Midsummer Night's Dream (28), Othello (20), King Lear (19), and Julius Caesar (18).
