Orson Welles' Shakespearean Masterpiece Returns to Theaters

The Leonard Lopate Show | Jan 7, 2016

Beatrice Welles, daughter of Orson Welles, and Peter Becker, President of the Criterion Collection, discuss “Chimes at Midnight,” an adaptation that integrates elements from "Henry IV," "Richard II," "Henry V," and "The Merry Wives of Windsor." It is a crowning achievement of Orson Welles' late film career. The film had previously been locked away in legal battles, and returns to the big screen. 

Playing exclusively at Film Forum (209 West Houston St. west of 6th Ave.) through January 12. For ticket information, click here.  

Beatrice Welles will be in attendance at the Friday, January 8 screening at 7:30 p.m. at Film Forum. For tickets, click here.
