I was recently told that the 1965 film by Orson Welles Chimes at Midnight is a MUST SEE Shakespeare film. I had never even heard of it before! I found short clips of it on YouTube, but the entire film appears to be unavailable anywhere in the United States. Anybody out there know anything about it??

Let me check around at my office; we might even have a copy (though not sure about that).

Okay, here’s something from a co-worker:
“I don’t think we have any lending copies in the collection. However, I was in a similar position a few years back, and I bought a (rather expensive) Brazilian DVD copy off Amazon. I don’t have it at the moment, because I lent it to somebody, but don’t remember who. Amazon also sells a really cheap DVD copy, which appears to be DVD-R according to the customer reviews.”

I did it. I splurged and bought the $44 version from Amazon. Thanks so much for looking into this for me!! I can’t wait to watch the movie now, and eventually comment on it on the blog!
