The Devil’s Double

Based on a shocking true story, THE DEVIL’S DOUBLE follows the riveting journey of Latif, a man forced to become the body double of Saddam Hussein’s ruthless son, Uday. Thrust into the debauched life of fast cars, easy women, and limitless power, Latif becomes virtually indistinguishable from the feared « Black Prince. » As war threatens Uday’s gangster regime, Latif realizes he must escape from the devil’s den — or die trying.

Chimes at Midnight (aka Falstaff) is a 1965 film directed by Orson Welles based around the character of Sir John Falstaff in Shakespeare. The script contains text from five Shakespeare plays: primarily Henry IV, Part 1 and Henry IV, Part 2, but also Richard II, Henry V, and The Merry Wives of Windsor. The film’s narration, spoken by Ralph Richardson, is taken from the chronicler Holinshed. The film was nominated (in 1968) for a BAFTA film award for Welles as Best Foreign Actor. At the Cannes Film Festival Welles was nominated (in 1966) for the Golden Palm Award and won the 20th Anniversary Prize and the Technical Grand Prize. In Spain it won (in 1966) the Citizens Writers Circle Award for Best Film. Welles held this film in high regard and considered it along with The Trial his best work, he said in 1982 « If I wanted to get into heaven on the basis of one movie, that’s the one I’d offer up ». Many critics, including Peter Bogdanovich and Jonathan Rosenbaum, also consider it Welles’s finest work. The scene depicting the Battle of Shrewsbury has been particularly admired, serving as an inspiration for movies like Braveheart and Saving Private Ryan. Due to complications concerning the film’s ownership, Chimes at Midnight remains unavailable in the United States. It is most readily available as an import DVD from Brazil.

   @RoninDave Long live Falstaff?!? Don’t know how to break this to you, but he’s dead. Did he owe you money, too?

   I have heard so much about this film and that it’s highly rated. I need to read Henry IV 2 and V to see what happens to the old dog Falstaff before watching this. How much did Welles write for this script?

    True. Most of his references are fleeting. Bloom either loves or hates cinematic Shakespeare. Most of Shakespeare is impossible to film without editing out material due to time constraints. « Throne of Blood » is only Shakespeare, in spirit. So, Bloom prefers emulation to imitation Shakespeare. However, because « Chimes » edits out so much source material, it’s closer to being emulation than imitation. Nevertheless, the « improvisation » is a conundrum for Bloom.

    @bondurango I’ve always wondered about Bloom’s feelings on various Shakespeare films, but he usually says little of the matter.

    My Shakespeare professor chuckled at the old man sitting with Welles here, quipping that he almost looked like he went to a pub and found that old guy who has a million stories and cast him. He was partially kidding, of course, but I think he’s getting at something.
