"Chimes" Question

[Flint]

Hi All-
The Spanish "Chimes" DVD recently arrived (which is FABUOUS). According to the opening title card of the film, it is called "FALSTAFF" with "Chimes at Midnight" smaller and in parenthesis. Is this how ALL the title cards read, or are there variations as in Mr. Arkadin? If not, why is the film never referred to (either in print or on this site) as "Falstaff"?

Though the US release went under the title of Falstaff, the film generally seems to be known under the Chimes title. Not sure why, perhaps it simply sounds better than Falstaff. The UK release went under Chimes, and the Spanish release was the same, albeit in translation. I have a subway sized poster for the film, and it has Falstaff as the title. I think it mentions Chimes in small print just like the title card, though I'd have to look at it again. So to answer your question, I don't know exactly.
