A Midsummer Night's Dream has been filmed several times. In 1935, the Oscar-winning film starring James Cagney, Joe E. Brown, Mickey Rooney and Olivia de Havilland, was directed by Max Reinhardt. In 1968, the Royal Shakespeare Academy production with Helen Mirren, Judi Dench, Ian Holm, Ian Richardson and Diana Rigg was directed by Peter Hall. The Royal Shakespeare Company production directed by Adrian Noble was filmed in 1996. And finally in 1999, Kevin Kline, Michelle Pfeiffer, Callista Flockhart and Christian Bale starred in a film directed by Michael Hoffman.

These are the most significant productions of the play on film.

What musical composer composed a famous version of A Midsummer Night's Dream?

The most famous musical composition associated with A Midsummer Night's Dream was composed by Felix Mendelssohn. It is not, however, a "version" of the play, but rather incidental music meant to accompany a performance. Think of it as the "soundtrack" to the play (it was so used in the 1935 film of the play, and partially again in the 1999 film). There are a number of pieces in the suite, but the one absolutely everyone knows is the Wedding March, which is played at many weddings.
