Summary:
"The crowning achievement of Orson Welles's extraordinary cinematic career, Chimes at Midnight was the culmination of the filmmaker's lifelong obsession with
Shakespeare
's ultimate rapscallion, Sir John Falstaff. Usually a comic supporting figure, Falstaff -- the loyal, often soused friend of
King
Henry IV's wayward son Prince Hal -- here becomes the focus: a robustly funny and ultimately tragic screen antihero played by Welles with looming, lumbering grace. Integrating elements from both Henry IV plays as well as
Richard
II
, Henry V, and The Merry Wives of Windsor, Welles created a gritty and unorthodox
Shakespeare
film
as a lament, he said, 'for the death of Merrie England.' Poetic, philosophical, and visceral -- with a kinetic centerpiece battle sequence that rivals anything in the director's body of work -- Chimes at Midnight is as monumental as the figure at its heart."--Container.
