Some of those German dubs sound interesting, even though I haven't had a lesson in over 20 years. I'd be particularly interested in hearing what a German voiceover artist did with Welles's redneck Will Varner in THE LONG HOT SUMMER ("You keep a taht lip, boy. Or I'll come at you with mah BARE HANDS! Y'HEAR!").

Also, I seem to recall reading years ago that there was a German language version of THE LADY FROM SHANGHAI that had some different footage in it. Could that possibly be the one on your list?

[Eve]

Thank you, mteal.

Unfortunately I have never seen the original THE LONG HOT SUMMER. Though I think that the voiceover artist for Welles did quite a good job on this film - the rumbling parts are done almost too well. One film that became nearly unwatchable due to the dubbing however, is Othello. The voiceover artist for Welles ruined the complete film for me since his voice is absolutely inadequate.

Since you referred to the question of a German language version of THE LADY FROM SHANGHAI - I think that this question may have been solved due to the recent events surrounding the controversy of the 'American'- versus 'European'- edit of JOURNEY INTO FEAR.
Here is what Roger Ryan posted at the beginning of the thread "Alternate "Journey Into Fear" Edit Discovered"

Robert Fischer, former head of the Munich Filmmuseum, told me the next day that he believes he saw this alternate version [of JOURNEY INTO FEAR] on German TV before, but did not realize it was different from the version most viewers were familiar with. He also recalled reading once that James Naremore was told by someone that there was an alternate German version of "Lady From Shanghai", a version that was never found. "Perhaps he got the title wrong," suggested Robert. "Maybe he meant 'Journey Into Fear' after all".

I think that this is probably true. My German copy of THE LADY FROM SHANGHAI was taped from tv in 1994 (the last time so far that this film was shown on German tv). I have now the DVD that is commonly distributed and I can say that it differs in no way from the version that was shown on tv back then - except for the famous scene where O'Hara tells the story of the sharks. It got simply cut out for tv. So, in fact, the dubbed version of this film doesn't have different footage in it - quite the opposite - it has even got less.

Of all the Welles's films that were shown on German tv during the last eleven years (all of them were shown except for MACBETH and FALSTAFF) there were three - CITIZEN KANE, IMMORTAL STORY and F FOR FAKE - where a few shots were missing.

Speaking of the German dubbing - a problematic case is probably CITIZEN KANE. At some places they simply changed the score (for example at Kane's wedding to Susan and at the end when the credits appear). They used pieces of music from other parts of the film to the effect that the entire atmosphere of these scenes got changed to a much more depressing tone. Whether or not one may hear the 'Charley Kane' theme (or, in the case of the dubbed 'German'-version, a dark theme probably taken from the scenes at Xanadu) at the ending of a film like CITIZEN KANE is like a difference between day and night.
The mood that is conveyed through the music at the end of KANE is certainly unlike the one present throughout most of the film. For me it contributes some sort of additional meaning to the entire film. In a way somehow like the end of Welles' speech in F FOR Fake with the pictures of Chartres -
"... A fact of life... we're going to die. 'Be of good heart,' cry the dead artists out of the living past. Our songs will all be silenced - but what of it? Go on singing."

Searching for Orson (2007)

[Eve]

Looking ‘desperately’ for the following:

conversation between Orson Welles and Peter O’Toole, BBC, probably early 1970s

[Store Hadji]

Director Ridley Scott, disputing his reputation for long-windedness:

"I remember watching this conversation between Orson Welles and Peter O'Toole on BBC,'' he says. ``Both were two consummate professionals who were still extremely articulate -- I believe O'Toole was around 40 at the time -- and I think the show was supposed to run for a half-hour.
Well, they went on and on for two hours -- they were both drinking on television -- and the BBC just let the program run. That proved to me that two guys who know what they're talking about -- even if it's two talking heads -- will always be more fascinating than anything else you could watch. I've never forgotten that.''

looking for:

conversation between Orson Welles and Peter O’Toole, BBC, probably early 1970s

[Store Hadji]

This is perhaps a different program, but it's a 24-minute segment with Welles, Peter O'Toole, Ernest Milton and Huw Wheldon on Monitor in 1963 discussing Hamlet.

"Huw Wheldon bravely referees this clash of the titans as Peter O'Toole, Orson Welles and veteran thespian Ernest Milton compete to present the definitive analysis of 'Hamlet'. The atmosphere and some of the language used reflect this progamme's original late-night timeslot. This programme is incomplete and has some audio drop-out."
