276. Hell on Orson Welles
- www.richardhell.com
- This talk was an informal introduction to a series of screenings of movies directed by Orson Welles. ...
- Orson Welles:.
- It's hard to know where to start talking about Orson Welles. ...
- Lady from Shanghai is one of the latter--it's a Hollywood movie, meaning that Welles had a budget, and he pretty much got to make the movie as he'd like--but his version was two and a half hours long. ...
- Welles dreams about the conflict within himself of the the driven, cynical, mesmerizing manipulator for personal gain versus the idealistic, innocent, more serene humanist--four of the five movies in this series follow that pattern a pattern described as a political tension typical of Welles's movies by James Naremore in his The Magic World of Orson Welles (Oxford University Press, 1985) --and. ...
- It is so delicious and exhilirating to be transported like that and no one could do it like Welles and that was really the point itself, to get everything intensified with meaning and beauty, to be taken through the gates of Xanadu and slid and dipped through time and the lives of strangers in the form of the most fascinating pictures where there's singing in one corner and little gleaming outbreaks of memory in another and a gargoyle's head protruding while someone gives an accidentally false confession to the sound of delicate music. ... But Welles is not really humble and I think the awestruck but finally cheated or at least chilled feeling one sometimes leaves his movies with is also significant. ... The so-called content is just a pretext, which is the positive way of saying the story is a lie and empty, as Welles said in those lines from "F" for Fake. ...
- One tends to leave a Welles film stimulated but sad, sad at some kind of failure or loss. ...
- Welles is one of those artists, like Rimbaud or Van Gogh whose work you can't talk about without talking about his life. ...
- There Orson learned the first of the stage magic that would be a hobby for the rest of his life. ... Welles graduated Todd at sixteen and from there travelled alone to Ireland ostensibly on a walking and painting tour (Dr. ...
- To cut it short, nearly every production he staged was not only a success but made big news twice more over: for both creative innovation and topical content (Welles was a committed leftist). ...
- Hearst used all his influence to try to destroy Kane and Welles, and many in Hollywood were not too broken up to see the spoiled kid get his comeuppance. ...
- As Welles himself put it, he started at the top and worked his way down. ...
- In the interim he'd made The Magnificant Ambersons (1942) which was a poignant masterpiece that the studio removed from his control after shooting--he'd gone off to Rio to make a documentary at Nelson Rockefeller's government office's request --and then mutilated by cutting about forty-five minutes from what Welles intended while also shooting new material unapproved by the director, including a more cheerful ending. Then came Journey into Fear (1943) a good but relatively conventional thriller the direction of which Welles influenced, and in which he acted, but that's credited to Norman Foster; and after that The Stranger (1946), which will be screened in this series, also a relatively unambitious thriller that's full of wonderful touches. ... Welles said later he made that movie to demonstrate his practical competence to the studios: "I did it to prove I could put out a movie as well as anyone else. I did not do it with cynicism however," and it did make money and was more than hack work, as was everything Welles ever did. ...

- William Randolph Hearst, the powerful newspaper magnate, was portrayed in Citizen Kane, an Orson Welles film. Hearst's reaction upon learning about the film was to work to supress it and destroy Welles. Major movie theater chains refused to show Citizen Kane, and Welles' masterpiece virtually disappeared for almost 25 years. Never again would Orson Welles gain control of a major Hollywood production. ...

- In September of 1937, Welles became the initially uncredited lead in the popular radio series, The Shadow. ... From the first, Welles did the scripts with no rehearsal which, along with his wonderful voice and acting, gave the overtly melodramatic scripts an intelligence and urgency that was very different from other adventures on the radio dial.
- Doing radio shows during the day, Welles and John Houseman worked nights producing a dramatic scene in New York City - The Mercury Theater. ... Welles was offered a slot on the radio for his actors in 1938. ... The notoriety of War of the Worlds got Campbell Soups interested, and so the new Campbell Playhouse continued where the Mercury Theater left off, with the same great actors and quality treatments of dramatic classic and original material, some by Welles himself.
- Orson continued to be a star, and made many appearances on almost all the major radio shows of the time, as well as continuing dramatic work on such shows as Norman Corwin's prestigious Columbia Theater Workshop and Suspense.

- I never thought I'd have to force myself to sit through a documentary about Orson Welles, but in this case, I did. It's more a documentary about Graver himself than Welles, and not a very interesting one, at that. It's hard to believe that Graver, a camera man, worked with Welles for 15 years, so amateurly done is this program. ...
- There are some screen test shots of Welles from "F for Fake," which would be fascinating if only Graver didn't talk all over them. But that sets the tone for the whole documentary: Graver talking over Welles, and stretching his association with him far beyond any purpose other than to toot his own horn. Included, for no good reason, are the first short film Graver ever made, a preview for Oda Kounar's "Jaded," and various other clips and anecdotes that have nothing whatsoever to do with Welles.
- I did enjoy one thing: a short clip of Orson from "The Tonight Show," performing magic tricks (with Graver included---naturally---as the supposedly random audience member), which was charming. ...
- As another reviewer mentioned, this one is really for Welles fanatics only. I enjoyed seeing Orson in ways I hadn't before; when I got to see him at all, that is. ...
