I think this may be close to release, finally.

Heavens to Murgatroid! THANKS for posting this cool clip! I've been reading about this unfinished Welles film for many years but haven't been able see any footage until now. You've MADE my day & my week! :-)

Why do people smoke cigarettes? Come on, it's so obvious it is destructive to you and people I think do it because mainly it's a nervous habit and they think they need a way something to settle them down. This is why I like the movie star wars and other movies like fantasy movies, which don't have overrated stars smoking and pretending that the drama of their lives has to be the drama of everyone elses. Cigarettes are bad, mmkay.

@Scrubwell I've seen Citizen Kane about 20 times. The action in Kane waxes and wanes like the tides of the ocean. The action in this clip is a non-stop tsunami!!! About the only film I've seen that maintained a pace close to this is JFK with it's frenetic editing.

You should watch "Citizen Kane" :l

Yes will this film ever be released??? In the little bits we have seen the direction by Welles seems daring and modern, and the acting by Houston excellent.

There has been talk for a good few years now about how the rights issue to this movie have finally been ironed out.This was done with the help of Peter Bogdanovich and the ever loyal late Gary Graver,yet still we are only tantalised by snippets of the great mans unfinished work.Please,all of these great Directors,Actors,Producers studio heads who wouldnt lift a finger to help him when he was alive,yet claim they were all influenced by him. Get The Otherside Of The Wind out there.

@GoldenAgeSk8Video Welles on the theatre: "The theatre has lost its narrative style… the novel took over… the novel exhausted itself and the movie took over from there. The movies can do narrative, character, ideas, mood – unquestionably the most flexible form imaginable."
Why return to a medium he felt was obsolete and still maintain his artistic vision?

My professor acted in this film and wrote a book about it. I interviewed him about it. What a crazy production process.
People, the clip is *directed by* Orson Welles. John Huston was acting in this (unfinished) film, playing a film director named Jake Hannaford, IIRC.
