WELLESNET MESSAGE BOARD

Welles starts to shoot six half-hour videos for Sears, Roebuck, including recitations of The Happy Prince, stories by G.K. Chesterton and P.G Wodehouse. Date was Aug 31 1970 Someone else said the other day that this (An Evening With Orson Welles) was meant for "cartrivision", an early hom...

Anyway, for anyone visiting central London, you can see most of the episodes there, on appointment at the BFI. (I went there in the past but I hadn't spotted these episodes then so I missed my chance.)

About the "The Four Clubman" / "London Clubs" segment of "One Man Band" ( youtube ): Naturally it's a pity that the audio track is lost. I was wondering: Could the script still exist somewhere? Maybe not published, but various archives have Welles documents. Does anyone...

Does anyone perhaps have any episodes of the series, other than the "Montreux compilation"? Now, first of all, to be honest, I don't know if Welles appeared in all of the episodes or just some. He is in the compilation, but that's the only episode that is available . For some time, Network...
