Perhaps the only one of Welles' films that can really give Citizen Kane a run for its money as the filmmaker's finest work.

A personal viewpoint, it mixes the grotesque, bawdy, comic and heroic, and does have a melancholy under its carousing and battles.

Top CriticOrson Welles' brooding, sometimes brilliant art-house film dwells on the tragic side of one of Shakespeare's most famous comic characters.
08/29/06
Welles waddles through the foreground with an eye on his own problems of patronage, while behind the camera he conjures a dark masterpiece, shot through with slapstick and sorrow.
02/09/06
It's a delightfully playful rip at history and the traditional way of filming Shakespeare.

Evidently Mr. Welles's reading of Falstaff ranges between a farcical concept of him and a mawkish, sentimental attitude.
