\n
\u201cWelles thought Falstaff Shakespeare\u2019s greatest creation, considered this his own best film and saw its theme as \u2018the betrayal of friendship\u2019, though it is much more than that.\u201d Philip French, The Observer<\/i><\/div>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Incorporating the Falstaff sections of both parts of Henry IV<\/i>, this towering achievement by Orson Welles stars Welles himself as the monumentally charismatic scoundrel, Falstaff. Featuring a stellar cast, carefree farce, and one of cinema\u2019s greatest war scenes, this is arguably the best Shakespeare on screen.<\/p>\n

\n
\u201cWithout question, Welles is the definitive Falstaff, puffed up with bluster, but achingly sensitive on the inside.\u201d Joe Bendel, Epoch Times<\/i><\/div>\n<\/blockquote>\n
