review:
Orson
Welles's 1966 version of the Falstaff story, assembled from
Shakespearean bits and pieces, is the one Welles film that deserves
to be called lovely; there is also a rising tide of opinion that
proclaims it his masterpiece. Restrained and even serene (down to its
memorably muddy battle scene), it shows Welles working largely
without his technical flourishes—and for those who have never seen
beyond his surface flash, it is ample proof of how sensitive and
subtle an artist he was. With Keith Baxter, John Gielgud, Margaret
Rutherford, and Jeanne Moreau.
