Duke of Omnium
By adding a hint of gravitas, Welles gives Falstaff genuine pathos instead of pure buffoonery. 15th Century England is credibly recreated (or at least faked); very impressive for what is evidently a low budget film. Nice to see Gielgud as something other than Arthur's butler. 6 years 9 months ago -

This is probably my favorite filmed Shakespeare adaptation and my fourth-favorite Welles film after Citizen Kane, Touch of Evil and The Magnificent Ambersons. The battle sequence was amazing. The dvd available from Mr. Bongo Films was surprisingly good. Here's hoping for an even better restoration and Blu-ray release down the line. 9 years 9 months ago -

@Mr Burns: Well, Citizen Kane (Warner Bros) and Touch of Evil (Eureka/Universal) were both released this year on Blu-Ray. Maybe other companies who own Welles stuff will take the opportunity. 12 years 4 months ago
