"Richard III" (1912) is a 55-minute film starring Frederick Warde as Richard III. The film, a French/U.S. coproduction, was produced by Film d'Art and released through the independent states rights film distribution system. The film was directed by French film director André Calmettes, who had previously directed the films "The Assassination of the Duke of Guise" (1908) with a music score composed by Camille Saint-Saëns, "La Tosca" (1909) based on the play by Victorien Sardou, and "La Dame aux Camélias" (1910) with Sarah Bernhardt. "Richard III" was adapted from the play by William Shakespeare by playwright James Keane.

In 1996, a pristine print of the film was found by a private collector and donated to the American Film Institute. It is considered to be the earliest surviving American feature film [IMDB and AFI websites ] .

On June 26, 2001, Kino International released the film on DVD, which includes a 17-minute documentary film "Rediscovering Richard: Looking Back on a Forgotten Classic".
