More Unseen Welles?

Postby Terry » Fri Apr 18, 2008 7:16 pm

I don't recognize the clips - Quijote or Around the World outtakes, perhaps?

That sure looks to me like Welles' camerawork...

Hmm, isn't this some of the footage from "In The Land Of Don Quixote" that Welles shot in the early 60s that found its way into Franco's "Don Quixote de Orson Welles"?

That shot showing Welles himself appears to be late 50s/early 60s vintage (definitely later than the "Around The World" projects).

Perhaps footage from NELLA TERRA DI DON CHIOTTE/IN THE LAND OF DON QUIXOTE, a documentary that Welles shot in Spain for Italian television. According to Jonathan Rosenbaum, Jess Franco padded out his DQ edit with stuff from that doc. That's a very odd shot of Welles near the end of the clip!

That's probably it.

Though from what I saw of the series, it should have been called Baby Beatrice in the Land of Don Quixote

Though she was a doll at the time, so I can't blame Papa Orson for including so much of her
