WELLESNET MESSAGE BOARD

Maybe they just found certain footage, say, Welles' own versions of the re-shot scenes or something like that. But I highly doubt that Warner is doing their own reconstruction. Doesn't seam likely.

No no, I didn't mean that Welles kept that scene in his possession, I meant that he was able to retain it in the film, i.e. the re-shot scene was not used. Apparently he said that in the Director's Guild talk.

I heard rumors from people who were present at the Director's Guild talk with Welles that he actually got to retain or re-insert his version of Aunt Fanny's breakdown. There are many conflicting reports as far as this is concerned. Does anyone know more for sure?

Incredible news! This is the package of "Touch of Evil" that we fans always dreamed of. Wonderful to see all three versions represented, plus commentaries.

I was the one asking the question via email and in a moment of forgetfulness I didn't remember that I had an account on this forum. Anyway, thanks a lot to Jeff and Roger for clearing this up. Has Welles ever said anything about these reshoots, what he thought of them etc.?

Hi, I'm a new member of this forum. I think it's a good way to start off by providing you with some screenshots from the Studio Canal release of Chimes at Midnight , which obviously looks superior to the Suevia disc. http://img210.imageshack.us/img210/4172/chimes1qe5.jpg http://img90.imageshack.us/i...
