- And it was in this spirit that Welles offered his comments at the close of the Mercury Theater's version of The War of the Worlds.
- "This is Orson Welles, ladies and gentlemen, out of character, to assure you that the 'War of the Worlds' has no further significance than as the holiday offering it was intended to be, the Mercury Theater's own radio version of dressing up in a sheet and jumping out of a bush and shouting boo," he reassured his audience. ...

- "We know now that in the early years of the Twentieth Century," Welles read, "this world was being watched closely by intelligences greater than man, yet as mortal as his own. ...
- Then, after establishing the fictional context of the work, Welles stepped aside, and the hysteria began.

- By every account Orson found formal education to be tedious but in 1926, just as his unhappy childhood was gradually slipping into a lonely adolescence, a rescue arrived when he was enrolled in the Todd School. ...
- It was at the Todd School, where Welles was given free access to the campus theatre and its printing press, that the impresario was truly born. Encouraged and nurtured by the Hills, Orson wrote, directed and performed a variety of roles, including that of the Virgin Mary in the school nativity play! .

- 30, 1938, when millions of Americans tuned in to a popular radio program that featured plays directed by, and often starring, Orson Welles. ... But in adapting the book for a radio play, Welles made an important change: under his direction the play was written and performed so it would sound like a news broadcast about an invasion from Mars, a technique that, presumably, was intended to heighten the dramatic effect. ...

- It maintained the same sponsor (Blue Coal), but had a new voice for Lamont Cranston, the young and relatively new theater and radio personality: Orson Welles. ...

- A hoax certainly implies intent to deceive, and that was completely absent from the Welles broadcast. ...
- Hmm, I understand that the "no intent to deceive" response was given by Welles and others involved in the broadcast when the resulting bruhaha began.

- ORSON WELLES AND THE BAT-MAN .
- Orson Welles.
- Production design of Batman done for Orson Welles' never realized Batman feature. ...
- The embryonic superhero concept wasn't even ten years old when perhaps the most illustrious director of his day, Orson Welles, seriously considered doing a Batman picture and even got as far as production designs, an early draft of a script and some casting photographs featuring various friends and colleagues in prototypes of what would eventually become the finished costumes. A pal of mine called Lionel Hutton, both a movie critic and respected film historian, was given unprecedented access to the Welles estate as research for his upcoming biography (out next Easter) and came across these startling facts in a huge pile of clippings and notes other people hadn't even bothered to report. ... The fact that Orson Welles was contemplating a Batman picture in 1946 is both glorious and fascinating to people like me, but embarrassing and crass to the Welles officionados. ...
- It's no secret that Orson Welles had a love of the pulps, having voiced "The Shadow" on radio and conceiving the illustrious "War Of The Worlds" scam, but what's lesser known is his love of comic-books right up to his death in 1985. ... Welles' diaries are dotted with occasional references to books he was reading at the time and his particular excitement at the late sixties and early seventies .
- He began meetings with National Comics (who would later become DC) as early as 1944 to discuss the Batman project, but his work didn't begin in earnest until completion of "The Stranger" in 1946 and Welles immediately threw himself headlong into the project. ... " Welles planned Batman to be an adult psycho-drama, but combined with what he described as the "heart-racing excitement of the Saturday morning serials, given a respectable twist and a whole new style of kinetic direction unlike anything ever attempted in American cinema. ...
- The real treat for me was the casting notes and confirmation letters from the actors themselves such as George Raft signing up for Two-Face (after Bogart turned it down), James Cagney as The Riddler, Basil Rathbone as The Joker and Welles' former lover Marlene Dietrich as a very exotic Catwoman with the same salubrious past Miller gave the character forty years later in "Batman: Year One. ... Welles wanted to cast himself in the roles of both Batman and Bruce Wayne, but the studio wanted to go with a more traditional leading man like Gregory Peck. ... " Welles, however, was incensed at the decision. ... The talks ended abruptly, Welles pulled out pf the whole deal and threw himself completely into "The Lady From Shanghai" and the "MacBeth" cinematic feature he had also been preparing for some time. ...
- The tragedy for movie buffs is that, like Welles' proposed adaptation of Conrad's "Heart of Darkness," the world wouldn't get to see a Batman feature until the campy 1966 movie with Adam West. ...

The Shadow knows. ...
