Merchant of Venice, The (M) - Al Pacino
Antonio, a successful but cash poor merchant approaches Shylock, a wealthy moneylender, for a loan to help his young friend Bassanio woo the fair Portia.
Shylock grants the request but demands one pound of Antonio's flesh if the debt is not repaid on time. When Antonio defaults on the loan, Shylock seeks what is legally owed to him but soon learns that those to whom evil is done do evil in return.
