WELLESNET MESSAGE BOARD

Welles' quotes panning Hitchcock, and several other directors, can be found in the book ORSON WELLES INTERVIEWS, which includes old newspaper and magazine interviews, and freshly translated stuff from Cahiers. Worth a read, especially since Welles' disparaging comments were all excised from This Is ...

"Depths of your ignorance" is a quote from the tape, which Orson said to the two directors who were having him read the bad copy - I WASNT saying it to anyone here, it's just a great quote. If you'd like to trade from some Welles video, just shoot me a message back. I'm as obsessed with Orson as any...

I have a fair and complete copy that I'll dub for any Welles things I don't have, film or radio. Post followup or email and we'll work it out. G'day!

What is it you want, in the depths of your ignorance... This whole recording is hilarious. I find it uplifting. Had Welles been so desperate that he HAD to stay and finish the session, HAD to suck up to the bad copy, and COULDN'T walk out, as he did, THEN I would have been heartbroken. Right on, Ors...

I hereby destroy any credibility I'll ever have in this newsgroup by announcing that the Simon Callow bee-ography is the best, nay, ONLY book about Welles in existence.

It gets psychoanalytical, but nowhere near to the point of the Naremore book, which Freud could have written!

Hey Jaime, are you going to use any of the scenes from the disappointing A&E Ambersons? It seems you could turn them to black and white and maybe they wouldn't look too far out of whack. And what of the radio version, is there any missing narration or dialogue in there? And weren't the Amberson hous...

What is a good source for titles/descriptions of the Ceiling series? I've been using the chronology in This Is Orson Welles along with guesswork. I thought the episode with Welles as the devil was Air Transport Command. Is that one really The Future?

Hello. Anybody got Fountain of Youth, the 99-minute Arkadin, or anything else rare they'd like to trade? I can offer a mint copy of Don Quixote, The AFI thing, Treasure Island (with O. W. Jeeves,) One Man Band, Filming Othello, Confidential Report, Immortal Story, widescreen Falstaff, original versi...

Hello Jaime and CBanks! I just read the uneven but interesting Orson Welles Interviews, wherein Welles consistently praises the young Stanley Kubrick as being the best director of his generation. I wonder also about Orson's predictions that by the mid 21st century, no one will remember Hitchcock's w...

A goofy close-up of Robert Arden exclaiming "Well, who are you?" from Mr. Arkadin would be best.

I want a picture next to my name.
