Laurence Olivier's blackface Othello (1965). The best Othello on film, imo, precisely because it's a throwback to the days of burned cork white men playing the title character, just as Shakespeare's company originally played him. The black Venetian general is supposed to be a spectacle. After all, the problem of his place lies primarily with the community, not the character. A keeper (a tolerable streamer).
