About this product

Product Information

Chimes at Midnight (Criterion Collection) The crowning achievement of Orson Welles's extraordinary film 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, one that he intended, he said, as a lament... for the death of Merrie England." Poetic, philosophical, and visceral-with a kinetic centerpiece battle sequence that rivals anything else in the director's body of work-Chimes at Midnight is as monumental as the figure at it's heart. AKA: "Falstaff." 116 min. Widescreen; Soundtrack: English Dolby Digital mono; audio commentary; featurettes; vintage interview; theatrical trailer. BLU-RAY SPECIAL EDITION FEATURES New digital restoration, with uncompressed monaural soundtrack Audio commentary featuring film scholar James Naremore, author of The Magic World of Orson Welles New interview with actor Keith Baxter New interview with director Orson Welles s daughter Beatrice Welles, who appeared in the film at age seven New interview with actor and Welles biographer Simon Callow New interview with film historian Joseph McBride, author of What Ever Happened to Orson Welles? Interview with Welles while at work editing the film, from a 1965 episode of The Merv Griffin Show Trailer Language: English Subtitles: English Number of discs: 1 Run Time: 116 minutes Director: Orson Welles

Great movie!
Combining at least two of Shakespeare's plays to tell the story from Falstaff's point of view, Orson Welles has made a movie that is both entertaining and gorgeous to look at. There may be other versions, but it is worth the extra money to get the flawless Criterion version.
