The Tower of London is a historic structure in London, England that was built by William the Conqueror in 1078. Throughout the years, the tower has been featured in several films, including Spider-Man: Far from Home (2019) [1], The Boy Who Turned Yellow (1972) [1], Anonymous (2011) [1], The Six Wives of Henry VIII (1970) [1], Wolf (2004) [1], Doctor Who (2005-present) [2], Columbo (1971-78) [2], Muppets Most Wanted (2014) [2], The Tower (1956) [2], The Jokers (1967) [2], and Henry VIII: Patron or Plunderer? (2003) [2].

The most prominent of all the films to feature the Tower of London is the 1939 black-and-white historical film Tower of London (1939) [3], directed and produced by Rowland V. Lee. This film stars Basil Rathbone as the future King Richard III of England, and Boris Karloff as his fictitious club-footed executioner Mord.

The film is based on the traditional depiction of Richard rising to become King of England in 1483 by eliminating everyone ahead of him. Each time Richard accomplishes a murder, he removes one figurine from a dollhouse resembling a throneroom. Once he has completed his task, he now needs to defeat the exiled Henry Tudor to retain the throne.

Pre-production on the film began years before production began when Rowland V. Lee travelled to the United Kingdom to do research for a historical film. Production went over-budget and led to Lee making a deal with Universal to complete all scenes with the higher costing cast members early to finish the film. Basil Rathbone, Boris Karloff, and Barbara O’Neil star in the film.
