At the 1:12 mark, there is an image of the show's logo for a split-second.

[AmbassadorJediSpock]

"That is a director?"

"What? I'm on my mark... yes, always... move your camera"

Hahahaha! That was great

@weinerbongo: No, not from what I've seen. In his later years he seemed light-hearted and humble. There's a great interview on here called 'The Orson Welles Story.' He actually had me cracking up! It is funny to see him portrayed like this though.

[weinerbongo]

How accurate is John Candy's portrayal of of Welles's behavior? Was he really like this in his old age?

[graemeoliver84]

@weinerbongo There's a famous outtakes tape (audio only) of Welles being grumpy and pompous while recording voiceover for frozen food commercials. It's worth a listen, it'll be on Youtube. Some of the lines here come from that ("Yes, always")

[bitwize]

@weinerbongo Welles was as pleasant and jovial a man as you could ever meet. But he would not brook stupid people telling him what to do. Listen carefully to the "Frozen Peas" recording a few times and you will discover that he was being asked to read horribly written ad copy by complete incompetents.

Move your camera!

[98bigbutt]

He looks like Orson Welles.

[PointFiveToupee]

Uhh...subliminal advertising at 1:12?

[frkaz911]

@PointFiveToupee It looks like a promo slide for the show, but I couldn't freeze it.

[badenovs]

@PointFiveToupee; bizarre... could be a glitch from the transcoding.. It looks like the Billy Crystal Show bumper

[bttfnut89]

@badenovs it reads " The Billy Crystal Comedy Hour"

[BrianSmithNow]

@PointFiveToupee I caught that too. LOL

[BrianSmithNow]

@PointFiveToupee I caught that too. LOL

[ScottfromTexas]

He is a better Orson Welles than Orson Welles. LOL!

"Well, you said I should use a little more authority..."

"Yeah?"

Well, maybe you-"

"BE SILENT, PLEASE!"

[bradchaz]

"What? I'm on my mark... yes... always. Move your camera!" Hilarious!

[JudgeQwerty]

Wow... I never knew John Candy was such a match for Orson Welles!!
