Shakespeare "Henry IV-2" (1979 TV) Falstaff Praises Wine

Falstaff (Anthony Quayle) takes a prisoner on the battlefield, has exchange with Lancaster, then praises wine and ample potations....Act 4, scene 3 in it's entirety (Arden edition) Anthony Quayle ... Sir John Falstaff Gordon Gostelow ... Bardolph David Buck ... Earl of Westmoreland Rob Edwards ... Prince John of Lancaster Directed by David Giles William Shakespeare's "The second Part of King Henry the Fourth"...........a bit more dark and cynical than part 1. Maurice Morgann on Falstaff: "To me [...] it appears that the leading quality in Falstaff's character, and that from which all the rest take their colour, is a high degree of wit and humour, accompanied with great natural vigour and alacrity of mind. [...] Laughter and approbation attend his greatest excesses; and, being governed visibly by no settled bad principle or ill design, fun and humour account for and cover all."
