Cameron Crowe’s screenplay for
Almost Famous, released as a paperback as a supplement to
Sight And Sound, contains a Shakespeare
reference. That reference actually comes in a quoted line from Led Zeppelin’s “Stairway
To Heaven”: “
Immediately, overlapping,
the vocal begins: (‘There’s a lady who’s sure all that glitters is gold’)”
(p. 66). That line is a play on a famous line from
The Merchant Of Venice. When the Prince of Morocco chooses the gold
casket, he finds a scroll inside, its first line being “
All that glisters is not gold.” This paperback was published in
2000.
