Orson Welles was never one for convention and this film proves it. Not only did he condense both parts of Henry IV, he also took elements from other plays. His portrayal of Falstaff is my favorite role in his storied career. There are several elements of this film that I could see in other films down the line notably the battle scenes. The battle scenes must have had an influence on Braveheart. It’s a difficult film to find but it’s a rewarding experience if you do manage to catch it.
