Chimes at Midnight (1967) on Netflix

Sir John Falstaff (Orson Welles) is the hero in this compilation of extracts from Shakespeare's "Henry IV" and other plays, made into a connected story of Falstaff's career as young Prince Hal's (Keith Baxter's) drinking companion. The massive Knight roisters with and without the Prince, philosophizes comically, goes to war (in his own fashion), and meets his final disappointment, set in a real-looking late medieval England.shakespeare's henry iv part twoshakespeare's henry vshakespeare's the merry wives of windsorshakespeare's henry iv part onebetrayal by a friend98 morePlot summaryPlot synopsisTaglinesA Distinguished Company Breathes Life Into Shakespeare's Lusty Age of FALSTAFFGenresComedyDramaHistoryWarCertificateNot RatedParents guide
