Without a doubt, one of the greatest Shakespearean films ever made! Orson Welles’s masterpiece and from what I understand, his own favourite. He was equally proud of his work as actor and director. Rightly so. As soon as I came across the DVD reissue, I grabbed it!

Colorization is bad, yes. But just as bad is 4k HI-DEF remastered films from that era, they look unnatural too.

Descanse en Paz Gina Lollobrigida, la más bella de las actrices italianas. Gran actriz magnífica escultora. Siempre la recordaré en sus películas. Siempre en mi corazón corazón. Ciao Gina, desde España 🇪🇸 ❤❤

In the light of such an amazing rediscovery, it feels very churlish indeed to request a telecine that preserves the original aspect ratio, but colour me churlish. I'm not exactly well-off but if any money is required for a new telecine I'd be happy to contribute to the pot.

Thank you so much, Todd, for being willing to share this. And thank you as well, Ray, for your diligence and always amazing preservation efforts. I've always been a bit confused about just exactly when this production took place. Patrick McGilligan's book has him returning to Woodstock to do Twelfth Night right after his return from Dublin in the spring of 1932, not 1933. This actually makes more sense, as in the spring of 1933 he was away for three months traveling in Spain.

@jessereiswig9974 4 ай бұрын

OK; I found fairly definitive evidence that this would have been filmed in 1932, not 1933. The Woodstock Daily Sentinel of May 3, 1932 has, on the front page, an article about this production of Twelfth Night. It says the Todd Troupers won first place at the High School conference for the production the previous week. It mentions Todd's mother ("Joan (sic) Hill taking the part of the leading lady, that of 'Viola.'")

Huge thanks to Todd for sharing this with us all - a much more ambitious and accomplished early effort from Welles than I think any of us could have anticipated, though at this point we probably should have!

Stunning find especially in this condition, truly rare. In 1933 Orson would be only 18 and already in charge of the camera, the sets, the costumes, the script, the narration, the direction and the artwork in that book. The breadth of his refined talent and intellect never ceases to amaze me.

@raykellywellesnet 4 ай бұрын

Apparently, it was filmed shortly before his 18th birthday in May 1933.

Truly *awful!* Watching this cr@p back as a teen sent me to be watching real Black and White movies as they were meant to be seen. And seriously, I was never a big fan of black and white films before. But this made me appreciate them as a teen back in the 1980's.

This is based on the 1963 novel and was eventually made as "DEAD CALM", directed Philip Noyce, with Nicole Kidman and Sam Neill. Welles' estate still owned the rights, but George Miller was able to buy the rights so Noyce could make it. It's a shame that the book was written in the 60's, as one could see how Welles in his prime, could have made this a brilliant piece of work, shooting on a sound stage.

@raykellywellesnet 5 ай бұрын

Welles' partner, Oja Kodar, inherited the rights, not the Estate and she sold them to Miller.

I came across this thanks to a radio mod for Fallout 4. Given the current political climate in the US, I like how this play effectively presented a notion of weighing multiple conflicting values, but had no qualms about chastising fascists or anti-Semites.

tbh, as some people are saying that films shot in black and white before 1966 shouldn’t really be colorized, but if i were honest, i think its the closest we will ever get to making a real time machine, if you think about it, correct me if im missing anything or not, i like to hear your thoughts

@raykellywellesnet 8 ай бұрын

Color film was available in 1941 and the artist chose to make his film in B&W. I think that should be respected.Before his death, Orson Welles made it quite clear he did not want this movie colorized.
