 Falstaff (Chimes at Midnight) (Spanish: Campanadas a medianoche), is a 1965 period comedy-drama film directed by and starring Orson Welles. The Spanish-Swiss^[2] co-production was released in the United States as Chimes at Midnight and in most of Europe as Falstaff. The film's plot centres on William Shakespeare's recurring character Sir John Falstaff and the father-son relationship he has with Prince Hal, who must choose between loyalty to his father, King Henry IV, or Falstaff.

Welles said that the core of the film's story was "the betrayal of friendship."
