The culmination of Orson Welles’s lifelong obsession with Shakespeare’s robustly funny and ultimately tragic antihero, Sir John Falstaff; the often soused friend of King Henry IV’s wayward son Prince Hal. Integrating elements from both Henry IV plays as well as Richard II, Henry V, and The Merry Wives of Windsor.

Top Critics Reviews

rotten:
Evidently Mr. Welles's reading of Falstaff ranges between a farcical concept of him and a mawkish, sentimental attitude.
– Bosley Crowther,
New York Times,
9 May 2005
fresh:
Here is a film to treasure.
– Roger Ebert,
Chicago Sun-Times,
6 Apr 2007
fresh:
A personal viewpoint, it mixes the grotesque, bawdy, comic and heroic, and does have a melancholy under its carousing and battles.
– Variety Staff,
Variety,
18 Jun 2008
fresh:
It takes large latent talent to tell the audience that you know that what you're doing isn't worth doing and still do it better than anyone else in the movie.
– Pauline Kael,

Of all the movies Welles made, it may offer the most clues to his imposing pachyderm soul.
