One of the finest Shakespeare films ever made and one of Welles's supreme achievements, this distillation of the two parts of Henry 1V sees Falstaff's decline and fall as a symbol of the death of Merrie England.</div></div><span style="font-size: 14px;"><div><br></div>About the season: </span><div><span style="font-size: 14px;">People often say that if Shakespeare were alive today he would be writing for the movies.
