I don't have access to the article, but if there is someone who does, and can send it to me, then I can translate it.

Here's a good piece in Variety from a couple weeks back about Michel Legrand's work on the film score. Interesting bit about the opening music: Most unexpected of all is the melancholy Legrand piece that plays under Bogdanovich’s opening narration: It’s “Les delinquants” from the 1959 film “L’Ameriq...

You guys saw all the Rich Little footage in the exchange leading up to Gregory Sierra getting knocked on the head, right? No shade intended at all, but I’m fascinated by which ‘eccentricities’ get a pass from some of you and which stick in your craw and demand explanations for why they weren’t fixe...

It's quite exciting to think of a deluxe set for Othello similar to the Arkadin and Touch of Evil sets. According to the Orson Welles in Italia book there are even some rushes and several unused takes from the film stored in Rome (the author refers to the material as "the Othello doubles",...
