@okee9 'Around what year did they stop interviewing intelligent and interesting people like Welles ?' .... I guess that would depend on if you can honestly say that there is anyone "like Welles". but I know what you mean.
@okee9 i think is more about the fact that there are not people like wells, i dont want you to think i am the type of person that complains about everything and belives that the past times were better, but i do think that there is no such thing like people like orson wells because he was unique.
@genesis098123 I agree Welles was a unique figure, I guess these days the format of interviews has changed, shorter interviews, more z list guests and more focus on the interviewer than the guest,
y' know host Dick Cavett himself, always had those similar grating tones like that of Orson Welles' friend/sometime co-star Joseph Cotten... anyone notice?
Huh. His physical impression is much like one of my brothers on a good day. My brother is six-foot five and can be charming at times. I wonder how tall Wells was.
@nokomarie1963 He was about 6-feet-1. Next to Dick Cavett, Welles looks enormous, because Cavett is only 5-feet-5. And Welles has that Falstaffian bulk that makes him look like a Man-O-War cruising in a goldfish bowl. A thoroughly impressive man, with one of the richest voices ever.
@nokomarie1963 You very well might be right. The playfully gifted can dazzle no matter their physical gifts. There is, however, a preference among people for the deeper, richer tones of voice. Take for example actors who play Abraham Lincoln. Nearly always there is a tendency to deepen the voice, when written accounts of Lincoln indicated he had a higher, nasally whine to his speaking voice. No actor I ever heard play Lincoln ever went that route. Imagine Lincoln as more Capote than Welles. Ha!
Look at 1:27; he's so huuuuge compared to the interviewer! Amazing how someone so intimidating, both physically and intellectually, can be so charming and genuinely friendly at his core.
i always heared/imagined O.W to be a bit of a prick..Im so glad i watched this video now. he seems like one of the most genuine, friendly people i have ever seen come out of hollywood..him and vincent price
i keep hearing about citizen kane being one of the greatest....i'm going to get it but it better live up to the hype...many of the old movies don't at all for me anyway. A lot of old movies don't live up to modern standards..some do but not most
@whole27 Most "modern movies" aren't movies at all, but flying toy advertisements. CK is the greatest thing ever produced, and it was Orson and Mankiewicz, not the Warners, or Louis B. Mayer.
@DaysThruPictures movies today are the greatest ever, no matter what field, it only gets better and better. Now i understand there are older people who want to stay relevent and claim their generation and era is the best in some way but the truth is, his movies are outdated now and don't stand up to the quality of today's best movies but it was good for back in the day. Its like saying Bob Cousy was good for back in the day but can't hold a candle to Michael Jordan
@whole27 I disagree. I'm 32 years old, and I grew up with special effects and 3D animation, but movies made in the 40s and 50s had substance. They had stories, and REAL moral dillemas. Today, it's almost all action, and pop music. I wouldn't compare sports to it at all.
@whole27 You have no idea what you are talking about. You must be a troll or very ignorant. I'll give you a list of 20 movies that no film in the last 20 years could match.
It's nice to be reminded of the witty,pleasant Orson with clips like this.In some ways it's Orson's own fault that these days many people are only aware of the bad tempered Wine and Pea merchant.It's always how he seems to be portrayed or referred to in todays pop culture.But I suppose it's only because he'd clearly fallen so far from his original greatness towards the end of his life that makes his 'selling out' so notable.
Gee, Orson Welles was amazing! Because, you know, he is a great filmmaker and artist, but he always seems so relaxed, funny and nice. Thank you for the video (:
Responding to charlatan films. The theory today is that fast cuts, action, and quick pace passes for content. This is false. The theory also is that young people get more out of quick cuts and action...when, in fact, if you question someone about a quick action sequence...they have no idea of how it relates to the the story (if there is one). The theory is now that if quick action is not maintained, then people will tune out...and the ratings will drop. This is a fallacy.
Two legends together. Orson we know about, a truly unique person rather like Brando was, but Dick Cavett was also a cut above. He knew how to balance making the 'show' with also being far more human and natural than his competitors (Carson, Frost, Parky etc...). Anyone know what year this was??
As time passes by, it seems more and more unlikely that people could have seen a show of such quality in prime time. It was thirty years before, but the world has sure undergone a complete turn.
Welles would have LOVED The mixing he could have done with YouTube... he could have 'fixed' and rescored and recut to his heart's content! Where OH where are the other directors so misused by the System who can now post their 'director's cut' right here. . . . this is the greatest media since Gutenberg!
WOW! Welles is ENORMOUS! Not just heavy but BIG. This was a man with presence. Both physical and emotional. I can't think of a modern actor that has the talent and personality of this powerful man. Today's actors all seem like smirking children of privilege who got into movies because of their parents money.
@sturmraist50 i think its the shoot out at the end of lady from shanghai (1947) where theres orson and rita and not to give too much away but bullets shatter various mirrors which form part of the set.
We had Parkinson in England in the 70's and he was the same. In fact, he got Welles in 73 for the first big interview with US star and he said 'when we got him everybody else came'
we are stuck with idiots like Jonathan Ross and paid him 6 million pound a year
LOOOOOOOOOOVE this interview. Love honesty. There is no substitute. And still somewhat respectful. Welles clearly angered and frustrated by meddling, and being unpredictable enough to state it. I Love it!
Why, oh why do they not make Renaissance men like Welles anymore? I admire his films, his landmark directing and his writing, but as a conversationalist he is fascinating. Watching someone as adept as Cavett interview him is a real pleasure.
I liked Welles' comment about preferring people to talk him like a human being not like Orson Welles. He was humble and funny. The great ones always are.
This talk show "host" seems to be letting the guest, who actually has something to say, go ahead and talk, and even allows the conversation to follow its own course.
Whatever happened to hosts who can't go 10 seconds without jumping in with a pithy quip and can only talk about rehearsed subjects?
Dick Cavvet having a conversation with Orson Welles and you call that a talk show? Give me a break.
I was thinking the same thing. It's such a joy to see these videos here, and also makes the rest of television interview shows seem like that much more drivel.
@charlatanfilms He sure seems nervous and awed by Welles, however. Welles wouldn't tolerate an idiot interviewer, however. It'd be tough to find someone to interview him today.
@charlatanfilms i dont get what you meen explain please. ami right in thinking you meen dick lets the guest do most of the talking more than he can say much him self?????????
Actually he was over 6'3" tall and always beautiful to look at
Even Hank Quinlan was a beautiful work of make-up. No one will ever equal the ability of Orson Welles to capture the essence of emotions. I am so very glad I decided to search the files. Thanks to all you uploaded the work.
"Could you go easy on the large and little part?" "I didn't mean that, i was talking about screens." "O, the size of the screen." "And i don't like to be talking about widescreens myself".
I like cavett because he actually talks about stuff that matters. I don't like the fact he likes to direct the interviewee toward middle-american wholesomness.
You are right, Orson , is one of the most brilliant theatrical and cinematic icons and minds/ If you love his cadence but you really should check out the Bruce Lee interviews on "The Pierre Berton Show" another very brilliant mind and the old Muhammad Ali interviews. GREAT STUFF
Im watching one right now one You Tube. The man had a BRILLIANT mind. A true LEGEND in every sense of the word. Not only could he destroy his opponents physically , but he could do so with his mind, another similarity that he and Muhammad Ali shared.
When he smiles at the beginning he seems so grateful and sincere that you can always feel his inner fragility. I remember Jeanne Moureau's words: "Orson Welles is a giant with glass ankles." It's sad when you think of the bitterness of his later years. Great man. Great loss.
@charlatanfilms: so true. Few interviewers can appreciate that much uniqueness/grandness (OK, granted, maybe it was mostly out of intimidation).
As for me: I could've listened to Welles for hours without even blinking (how does one blink with his ears?). Such a fascinating character.

Orson Welles is such a genius. His timing is impeccable. "No censor is that agile" Brilliant!

such a pity, Cavett's allowed so much useless verbiage about bleeping out words... Carson never wasted this much time on his interviews...

I like cavett because he actually talks about stuff that matters. I don't like the fact he likes to direct the interviewee toward middle-american wholesomness.

Orson Welles brought it up and asked several follow-up questions. Pay attention. Also, Cavett > Carson. More intelligent.

If Welles weighed 10 stone, he'd still have more presence than all the current movie dregs put together!

orson welles is big! how tall is he?
loombaron 2 years ago
first Orson is dead, and second He's a little above average in stature, Dick Cavett (the host) was pretty small indeed.

He has to be the best interview and probably most interesting person in the history of entertainment as we know it.

You are right, Orson , is one of the most brilliant theatrical and cinematic icons and minds/ If you love his cadence but you really should check out the Bruce Lee interviews on "The Pierre Berton Show" another very brilliant mind and the old Muhammad Ali interviews. GREAT STUFF

Thank you, I will check that out. Incidentally, I have uploaded a great Vladmir Nabokov/Pierre Burton interview, chalk full of wit.

Im watching one right now one You Tube. The man had a BRILLIANT mind. A true LEGEND in every sense of the word. Not only could he destroy his opponents physically , but he could do so with his mind, another similarity that he and Muhammad Ali shared.

How tall is Cavett? I've heard 5'6 but even this sounds like an overestimate, he seems like a pretty short person.

Gotta love Orson Welles.

When he smiles at the beginning he seems so grateful and sincere that you can always feel his inner fragility. I remember Jeanne Moureau's words: "Orson Welles is a giant with glass ankles." It's sad when you think of the bitterness of his later years. Great man. Great loss.

Its like Marlene Dietrich said in Touch of Evil:
He was some kind of a man. What does it matter what you say about people?

If I were ever stuck on a desert island, I would most want Orson Welles to keep me company. Imagine the bedtime stories!
