Product Description:
Considered Orson Welles' final masterpiece, this powerful and poignant epic was inspired by Shakespeare's plays "Henry IV," "Henry V," "The Merry Wives of Windsor" and "Richard II." Welles stars as Falstaff, the surrogate father of Prince Hal, who shuns Falstaff's friendship when he ascends to the throne of his real father, Henry IV. With Jeanne Moreau, John Gielgud.
