The Merry Wives of Windsor (German: Die lustigen Weiber von Windsor) is a 1965 Austrian-British historical comedy film directed by Georg Tressler and starring Norman Foster, Colette Boky and Charles Igor Gorin. It was written by Foster and Tressler as a film musical adaptation of Otto Nicolai's opera after Shakespeare's play.
Variety wrote: "All in all, it's a fast-running pic with a series of pleasant optical and scenic gags. ... Also this Austrian production may be termed an interesting document for it gives opera lovers in distant areas the opportunity to see a first-class opera production. In addition, it is something for future generations. The singers are excellent. In particular, this goes for Foster and Colette Boky. Latter, a Canadian soprano, is also an optical treat. ... Austrian Georg Tressler has contributed a competent directorial job within limits. The camera work deserves compliments, too."
