Synopsis: 

"Bells at Midnight" is not the film adaptation of a Shakespearean play, but a script made by Orson Welles from four works by his favorite author ("The Comadres of Windsor", "Richard II", "Henry IV", "Henry V") and Holinshed's chronicles set in medieval England.
At the dawn of the 15th century, in England a struggle for the royal crown is about to break out. The powerful Percy family, led by the hardened Henry "burning spur," claiming for itself succession rights to the throne opposes the legitimacy of King Henry IV. While young Hal, prince of Wales and heir to the crown, lives completely carefree. Away from the tensions that plague the kingdom, he lives in dissolutely linking one revelry after another under the tutelage of John Falstaff, an old fat rascal, who despite holding the title of hidalgo is undoubtedly the greatest scoundrel in all of England.

Shot in: Cardona.
