Cinema 10 closes fall season with 'Chimes at Midnight' at Potsdam Roxy Nov. 28

POTSDAM -- Cinema 10 wraps up its fall season on Monday, Nov. 28, with “Chimes at Midnight,” at 7:15 p.m. at the Roxy Theater, 20 Main St.

The film is not rated PG-13 and is 115 minutes.

Released in 1968, this 2015 restoration of Chimes at Midnight, in glorious black and white, reminds audiences of how great Orson Welles could be, as a director and as an actor.

Writing in 2006 of the film, largely unavailable in the US at that time, Roger Ebert said, “One imagines that Falstaff would have made this film much as Welles has, with lots of lusty wenches, flagons of ale, a tavern big enough for a battalion, a castle romantically vast, and a really gung-ho battle scene—all done, of course, as a fitting backdrop to kind, sweet, fat Jack Falstaff.

It is the Falstaff [Welles] was born to direct and play, and it is a masterpiece. Now to restore it and give it back to the world.” Here we have that restoration.

Tickets are $4.50 for general admission or $35 per season. Tickets for students and seniors are $3.50.
