Chimes at Midnight

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??

Falstaff

“There lives not three good men unhanged in England;
and one of them is fat, and grows old.”  – Henry IV

I finally got around to watching the famous – but hard to find – Orson Welles film Chimes at Midnight, that I first blogged about back in January.  And all I can say is:  1) I need watch it again, and  2) Welles truly makes an amazing Falstaff.
