[QUOTE="Spooky Owl!, post: 177381, member: 57984"] Orson Welles' favorite film of his own was CHIMES AT MIDNIGHT (aka: FALSTAFF) which bears the copyright date of 1964 but released over the next several years in several places, seen widely in Europe but very little in the States at the time... It's all beautifully realized in lyrically brutal B&W, although I'd be lying if I said that I was able to follow all the rapid-fire Shakespearean dialogue... Borrowed openly by the more muddled portions of MY OWN PRIVATE IDAHO decades later; but Keanu Reeves, though likeable, is no Keith Baxter (and Van Sant is not quite Welles). Sir John Gielgud plays the King. As he always does and must. [IMG]https://didyouseethatone.files.wordpress.com/2015/02/falstaff-chimes-at-midnight-7.jpg[/IMG] [/QUOTE]
