•        By many he was labeled the "boy genius" from a very early age Orson Welles stood out as a child that was gifted with a great intellect and the desire to explores.   Born May 15, 1915 in Kenohsa under the name of George Orson Welles for the most part he lived and unhappy childhood.   In 1918 Welles's family moved to Chicago when he was at the age of three and a year later his parents separated.   After this time Orson's father began to drink more than he was inclined to work.   In 1924 Beatrice Ives Welles, Orson's mother became sick and died in May of that year.   Orson was placed into the Todd School two years later due to his lack of interest in formal education.   Upon meeting the headmaster Roger Hill, Welles took a liking to the Headmaster, and was taken under his wing.   Hills encouraged Orson's to explore the school and find things that he would take interest in.   Upon coming across the theater Orson immediately fell in love and began to write, act and even star in plays at the school which started the beginning of his career.

• En fait, Welles n'a jamais été un cinéaste hollywoodien car il n'a pas été un enfant américain. ... Parallèlement à son activité de cinéaste, Welles a tout à la fois été metteur en scène et acteur de théâtre, réalisateur et acteur à la radio, écrivain, romancier et dramaturge sans oublier sa carrière à la télévision et ses nombreuses interprétations au cinéma. Les derniers films d'Orson Welles apparaissent comme une réflexion sur le cinéma. Mais toutes les difficultés qu'a rencontrées Welles et qui ont freiné son élan créateur, viennent de ce qu'il a été un cinéaste poète. ... Truffaut, le drame de Welles c'est d'avoir passé ses soirées depuis trente ans avec des producteurs tout-puissants qui lui offraient des cigares, mais ne lui auraient pas confié cent mètres de pellicule à impressionner.

• The Jungle Theater's premiere of local playwright Kent Stephens' Orson Welles Rehearses Moby Dick voyages with the drive of Captain Ahab's obsession and the flair of Orson Welles' celebrated creativity. ...
• The comedy opens on the bare stage of the Duke of York Theatre in London in 1955, where Orson Welles directed his critically acclaimed stage adaptation of Herman Melville's classic, Moby Dick. Welles circumvented the difficulties of having a ship, a whale and the sea on stage by creating a play-within-a-play in which a company of actors prepare to stage Moby Dick. Playwright Stephens re-imagines the rehearsal for this unlikely project, as six young actors gather to work with the volatile Welles to fashion a play that is being written as it goes. Like the crew of the Pequod, they are at first skeptical and rebellious but, as Welles drives them to exhaustion in the pursuit of pure art, they take up his passion. ...
• Stephens has carpented into his script veiled references to Melville's novel and to Welles' famous film Citizen Kane, and it's fun to catch them where you can. ...

Welles complains of narrow ankles, but he limps as though he might have a wooden leg. ...

• Orson Welles.
• Though little appreciated in his time, Orson Welles is today one of classic Hollywood's most acclaimed cinematic visionaries and was once nominated for Academy Awards in four separate categories for his contribution to one film (see below).   Always an outsider to the studio system which dominated filmmaking at the time however, Welles never condescended to play by Hollywood's rules and his arduous four-decade career was pocked with moments of brilliance, excess and waste.
• Welles as Charles Foster Kane in his masterpiece, CITIZEN KANE (1941). Welles produced, directed and starred in this classic which was nominated for nine Academy Awards, four of which Welles shared in: Best Actor, Best Director, Best Original Screenplay and Best Picture. The film won only one of the Oscars for which is was nominated however, that for the screenplay co-written by Welles and Herman J. ...
• " A friend of Welles from The Mercury Theatre, Cotten  collaborated with him on seven more films after CITIZEN KANE (1941).
• THE MAGNIFICENT AMBERSONS (1942), an adaptation of Booth Tarkington's novel, was directed by Welles and starred Cotten as well as Anne Baxter and Agnes Moorehead. Although severely re-edited by officials at RKO who cut approximately three reels of footage from Welles' original rough cut,  AMBERSON'S still features first-rate performances by its cast, as well as intriguing stylized photography. ...
• Orson Welles has the distinction of having appeared in both the Greatest American Film of all-time (according to the American Film Institute's 1998 poll) CITIZEN KANE (1941), and the Greatest British Film of all-time (according to the British Film Institute's 1999 poll) THE THIRD MAN (1949), directed by Carol Reed. ...
• THE THIRD MAN, Welles' sixth film with Joseph Cotten and the fourth co-starring the two, is an unconventional film-noir mystery classic also starring Alida Valli and Trevor Howard. ...
• Incidentally, the other films Welles made with Cotten were the World War II spy film JOURNEY INTO FEAR (1942), the Niven Busch western DUEL IN THE SUN (1946) (although Welles was only the narrator), TOUCH OF EVIL (1958) also starring Charlton Heston, Janet Leigh and Marlene Dietrich, THE TRAGEDY OF OTHELLO: THE MOOR OF VENICE (1952), and TOO MUCH JOHNSON (1938), a short film and one of Welles' earliest directing ventures.

• Orson Welles .
• Orson Welles' early years were so spectacular that movie cultists might have preferred that he'd lived fast, died young and left a good-looking corpse. ... When Welles died at the age of seventy, he left behind an uneven but extremely memorable body of work. ... The overwhelming fame of "Citizen Kane" has unfairly eclipsed virtually every other project Welles tried to do and practically no one remembers that Welles had to wear a girdle throughout the film or that the film lost $10,000 when it was originally released in 1941. ...
• Like everyone else, Orson Welles had only one chance to be 25 and he certainly made the most of it. ... His second movie "The Magnificent Ambersons", was a beautifully crafted interpretation of a Booth Tarkington novel, but it marked the beginning of Welles' nightmares with studio-enforced editing. ...
• In the last three-odd decades of Welles' life, he made gems like "Jane Eyre", "The Lady From Shanghai" (a box office failure), "The Third Man" and "Touch Of Evil", but he also appeared in many movies his admirers felt were unworthy of him and, of course, that notorious series of wine commercials. ...
• In honour of Orson Welles' birthday this week, you might enjoy seeing some of his classic films on video. ... Orson Welles may have had a stormy and often disappointing love affair with the movies, but his work reveals that he never really lost his innocence or enthusiasm for life. ...

• Orson Welles, The Mercury Theatre, and The Campbell Playhouse .
• Having successfully produced Marc Blitzstein’s controversial labor union opera, The Cradle Will Rock, for the Federal Theatre Project in June of 1937, John Houseman and the 21-year-old “boy wonder” of the theatre, Orson Welles, decided to form their own theatrical producing company. ... Welles (and set in fascist Italy), opened in New York on November 11 and created as much controversy as the young producers had hoped; The Mercury Theatre (along with the widespread public recognition of Orson Welles) was off and running. ...
• By this time Orson Welles was already a radio veteran, having made frequent appearances on The March of Time as early as 1935 and, in fact, at the time of The Mercury Theatre’s formation, was engaged in a seven-part dramatization of Victor Hugo’s Les Miserables, which was airing on Friday evenings between July and September of 1937 over the Mutual Broadcasting System. Although not officially a Mercury (the series had been airing for a few weeks before The Mercury even came into existence), several actors who were to become fixtures of The Mercury Theatre of the Air such as Martin Gabel, Alice Frost, Ray Collins, Virginia Welles (Mrs. Orson Welles), Agnes Moorehead, and Everett Sloane, appeared in the program, which Mr. Welles produced, directed, scripted, and starred in. ...
• The summer of 1938 found Orson Welles (who was just finishing his season-long run as The Shadow) with the chance to display the talents of his Mercury Players on his own series to be broadcast from New York City. ... Welles, made The Mercury Theatre one of the most compelling programs on the air. ... While ratings were not high, CBS executives knew they had a worthwhile prestige program on their roster, and Welles was invited to add the show to the regular CBS lineup beginning in September of 1938. By the time the second series of 13 Mercury Theatre shows ended on December 4, Orson Welles was as big a celebrity as radio had produced, all because of an updated version for the airwaves of H. ... Wells’s The War of the Worlds, adapted by Howard Koch (who was now scripting most of the shows) and John Houseman, but credited by the general public entirely to its director, producer, and star, Orson Welles. ...
• Welles’s co-stars were engaged only with his approval (he refused more than one well-known motion picture player) and generally fit into the proceedings very comfortably. ...
• In the show’s second season, it was moved from New York to Hollywood to accomodate Orson Welles and the other Mercury Players, who had signed a contract for their first picture at RKO (In the weeks prior to Campbell’s move to the West coast, Mr. Welles was traveling back East for the broadcast every week, studying his script in route; TWA gave Welles a special award for being their best customer of 1939, with combined mileage of 311,425). ... Now directed by George Zachary and scripted by John Houseman and Willis Cooper (who would later write and produce the radio series Quiet, Please!), the post-Welles series continued to produce top-grade radio drama with an impressive array of guest stars but, as none of the recordings of the final season appear to exist, one can only speculate on the entertainment value of such shows as Air Mail to Red Riding Hood with Miriam Hopkins and Humphrey Bogart, Kind Lady with Gladys George and Herbert Marshall, The Go-Getter with Helen Twelvetrees, Randolph Scott, and Frank Morgan, and My Client Curley with Fred Allen and Beatrice Kay. Orson Welles produced and starred in several excellent radio series during the next decade, but none ever matched the inventiveness and overall quality of The Mercury Theatre on the Air or The Campbell Playhouse. ...

• Best known for his airing of "War of the Worlds", Orson Welles made numerous appearances on a variety of different shows during his radio career. ...
• Between 1936 and 1941, Orson Welles was involved in more than a hundred radio drama productions as writer, actor and director. ...
• In September of 1937, Welles became the initially unaccredited 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 series in New York City - The Mercury Theater. ... Welles was offered a slot on the radio for his actors in 1938 and each week they would do a full hour of quality drama. ... 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. ...
• Later in Welles career after the creation of his great film, The Third Man, the BBC offered him a radio series to work off the audience recognition of the main character. ... As Harry Lime, Welles is able to be suave yet duplicitous while working some scam or other for a hasty profit. Lovers of noir and the hardboiled school will admire Welles' subtle European variation on the theme. ...

• Orson Welles, Shakespeare, and Popular Culture.
• He is dead-on accurate in his understanding of Welles's art and significance. No other writer has made so many interesting comments of Welles's celebrity persona and acting style. ...
• "On 15 October 1956 theI Love Lucy show aired an episode guest-starring Orson Welles. ... Welles's appearance in this bizarre episode of a popular television situation comedy is Michael Anderegg's point of departure in his fine, extremely well-written, compact contribution to Shakespeare and film studies. ... Anderegg proceeds to make clear Welles's centrality to any history of Shakespeare and film: he begins with two illuminating chapters focused on Welles' s theatrical background and his production ofEverybody's Shakespeare (Mercury Text Records). ... In his fascinating last chapter (the best, in my view) Anderegg compares Welles to Brecht and focuses on Welles'sauteur status in relation to his star qualities. ... Anderegg does not generally aim to produce 'new readings of Welles's Shakespearean films' but 'to place each film within a larger contextual field and to suggest the extent to which the meaning and significance of each are intimately tied to the circumstances in which it was produced, distributed, exhibited, and received' (73). ... I very much enjoyed readinngOrson Welles, Shakespeare, and Popular Culture, and I strongly recommend it. ...
• "Andregg provides an eloquent illustration of how, when Welles scholarship is at its best, it avoids the biographical and panoramic in favor of a particular theme or angle of investigation and, in the course of pursuing that angle, brings a fresh understanding to the Wellesian tapestry as a whole. ...
• "A valuable and much-needed contribution to Welles studies. Anderegg's book represents for me an important intervention that throws light not only on certain neglected aspects of Welles's work -particullarly Everybody's Shakespeare and the Mercury Text Records -but also on a fresh new approach toward understanding his career as a whole. ...
• –Jonathan Rosenbaum  editor of This is Orson Welles.
• From the earliest days of radio to the golden age of television and beyond, Orson Welles has occupied a unique place in American culture. In Orson Welles, Shakespeare, and Popular Culture, Michael Anderegg considers Welles's influence as an interpreter of Shakespeare for twentieth-century American popular audiences. Exploring his works on stage, radio, and in film, Anderegg reveals Welles's unique position as an artist of both high and popular culture. At once intellectually respected and commercially viable, the Shakespeare Welles gave the American public reflects his unique genius as a writer, director, and actor. ...

• Orson Welles, Shakespeare, and Popular Culture. ...
• Laurence Olivier, Orson Welles, Franco Zefferelli, and Kenneth Branagh have all, in different ways, proved worthy suitors. The most cinematically daring, and least successful at the box office, has been Welles. ...
• Shakespeare is a name that figures in virtually every artistic medium to which Welles contributed. ... The first part of the book considers this output, but we feel all too briefly, since it is through the medium of radio that Welles's efforts to popularize Shakespeare reached their widest audience. Anderegg is more than thorough when dealing with Orson's efforts to bring the Bard to Broadway, although he does not examine the production of Marlowe's Doctor Faustus - not Shakespeare to be sure, but close - which Welles's co-producer, John Houseman has argued was their finest theatrical project.
• Besides a superb assessment of the films, the book provides useful and new information about Welles's pedagogical projects: Everybody's Shakespeare - later to be known as the Mercury Shakespeare--which he first co-wrote at 18 with Roger Hill; and the accompanying Mercury text records, done in the late 1930s. ... The author also extends the non-filmic part of his analysis to a look at Welles's efforts to do the Bard justice on television.
• A central tenet of the book is that Welles was an artist who, perhaps more than any other, bridged two cultures - the high and the popular. Anderegg likens Welles's direction of the notorious all-black Voodoo Macbeth, staged under the auspices of the Federal Theater Project in 1936, to a P. ... When Welles took centre-stage as an actor, it was as an "epic performer" in large roles - audience grabbers--to which he was suited by size and temperament. ... We might add that Welles's situation with respect to radio was somewhat different. Orson preferred acting in that medium to any other. ...
• In assessing Welles's Shakespeare films, Anderegg provides a useful history of their initial reception--less than stellar in the UK and America. ...
• Prior to Othello, Welles had directed Macbeth. ... Although some have found the project laughable, the author clearly shows how Welles courageously hoped this film would reach an audience unaccustomed to viewing high art onscreen. Perhaps the most ambitious of the Welles films is Chimes at midnight. In its attempt to cut and paste from several of the plays, it is heir to Orson's ill-fated 1938 stage venture, Five kings. ...

• Arguably the greatest of American films, Orson Welles's 1941 masterpiece, made when he was only 26, still unfurls like a dream and carries the viewer along the mysterious currents of time and memory to reach a mature (if ambiguous) conclusion: people are the sum of their contradictions, and can't be known easily. Welles plays newspaper magnate Charles Foster Kane, taken from his mother as a boy and made the ward of a rich industrialist. ... Written by Welles and Herman J. Mankiewicz, and photographed by Gregg Toland, the film is the sum of Welles's awesome ambitions as an artist in Hollywood. ... As Kane, Welles even ushers in the influence of Bertolt Brecht on film acting. ...

• "Welles possiede e inventa una meccanica di cui nessuno come lui conosce il funzionamento".
• Orson Welles (USA, 1915-1985), è regista non solo di film, ma anche di spettacoli teatrali, trasmissioni radio, performance di danza nonché di un numero di magia alla Corte d'Inghilterra e poi scrittore di romanzi, commedie e centinaia di articoli e saggi,. ...
• Per Welles è un record, ancora prima di aver girato il suo lungometraggio d'esordio, con un contratto unico nella storia del cinema, ha contemporaneamente gli incarichi di regista, sceneggiatore, attore e produttore. Il cineasta ripagò al massimo la fiducia accordatagli con "Quarto potere", il suo primo lavoro; traboccante di ardite innovazioni tecniche ed estetiche, la pellicola è un capolavoro inaspettato; fondamentale nella storia del cinema, eletto più volte il più bel film del mondo, universalmente riconosciuto come l'opera più importante di tutti i tempi, quella che meglio delle altre ha imposto un cambiamento radicale nel modo di fare cinema; per Francois Truffaut: il film dei film e Welles miglior attore protagonista della storia del cinema. ...
• La vera novità è il flash back, che frantuma l'allora tradizionale e statico dialogo, ma anche uno stupefacente uso del grandangolo; inoltre per la prima volta alcune sequenze furono cadenzate perfettamente con la musica; e ancora soluzioni narrative e stilistiche straordinarie e una fotografia rivoluzionaria, naturalmente il tutto diretto, sceneggiato, interpretato e prodotto da Orson Welles. ...
