Movie Adaptations for Merchant of Venice?

My first recommendation would be an audio version. The "Arkangel Shakespeare" version is fine: https://www.amazon.com/The-Merchant-of-Venice-audiobook/dp/B00K8GCC7A.
The main problem in play versions is that it gets redirected as the tragedy of Shylock instead of the comedy of The Merchant of Venice. There's a 1980 BBC Warren Mitchell as Shylock version that's okay, even though it's largely in this vein.

Avoid the Al Pacino's Merchant of Venice and we cannot recommend the TV version available on YouTube with Bob Peck as Shylock.
