Orson Welles on London Clubs

[joe67saint]

Gee, there are a lot of portly fellows in that club.

I love the way he talked.He sounded very intelligent.It was because of him,I got into smoking cigars.

[kiasmus]

My God, if there ever was a gentleman, that was Orson. Who could match his voice, his knowledge and his staggering presence? He belonged to the real nobility: that of the mind, the might and the spirit. I've always seen him as the quintessential american, along with people like Frank Lloyd Wright and Walt Whitman. Prophets of an Ideal America. Princes of a country long disappeared and, alas, never to return.

1:29 imagine waking up in the morning to that in your face

[dancingdiplodocus]

he was a wonderfully funny man

[guidedby9]

Unfortunately, as was the case of many of his projects, this clip is unfinished. Orson meant to complete the dialogue with only he knows what. As such, we get a glimpse of his humor and his penchant of playing many a character...It was going to be part of 'Orson's Bag', a television special that (obviously) never aired...kudos to who found this, though...

God I would love to hear the dialogue in the club. Why did the audio drop out? That bit with the server was funny as hell.

1st mb44: LOL!

2nd anothernicemess has a point but it looks as if Welles wrote dialog here - makes sense - and if that's so he would never cut the vocal track. He had too much ego! Interesting to listen to the foley track tho.

[freshdarkstar]

That club looks bangin'...the max!

This is so surreal.

[bobbycormier]

surreal is right. i think it's that way because a lot of the voice track is lost but the sound effects track is not. - bobby cormier

[martynhanson]

the waiter is Tim Brooke-Taylor out of the Goodies - he did a few things with Welles

[ivorbigunzz]

I get the feeling he is trying to be another Peter Sellers.

[sharpasaneraser]

i think you've got your subjects reversed, old boy.

[mb44]

get a lip reader and hire the voice of the brain

[Rock123]

cool

[retread01]

I wonder where the voice track is, or why it is not part of this clip. Would be interesting to hear what he recorded.

[anothernicemess]

my opinion is Orson never intended to have a voice track for that clip, because he thought those people actually just talk about unimportant things, wich equals to nothing. again, just an assumption...

[presutton]

Thanks for posting this. Every little new bit of Welles adds to his genius.

Classic Orson. Even without sound it's fun.
