Despite portraying Falstaff as a grossly obese man, Orson Welles actually had to diet to slim down for the role.
According to Jeanne Moreau, Orson Welles delayed filming for two weeks due to stage fright.
This movie was based on the play "Five Kings". It was written by Orson Welles and condensed William Shakespeare's "Henry IV, V, VI" and "Richard III" into one show. He produced the show in New York City in 1939, but the opening night, during which Part 1 was performed, was a disaster, and Part 2 was never put on. He revamped the show and revisited it in 1960. Again, it was not successful. However, this later production was used as the basis for this movie.
Orson Welles' favorite of his movies.
Notorious exploitation filmmaker Jesús Franco worked as an assistant director on this movie. He is not listed in the credits because he and Orson Welles had a falling out when Franco took it upon himself to try and secure additional financing for this movie.
"Falstaff: My King! My Jove! I speak to thee my heart! Prince Hal: I know thee not, old man; fall to thy prayers!/ How ill white hairs become a fool and jester!"
"Falstaff: We have heard the chimes at midnight, Master Robert Shallow."
