Chimes at Midnight

>>85400945
it's the facial hair hiding his multiple chins
facial hair can make anyone look good

Imagine being Orson in that ad and having to be all like "Muuuhaaaahhh, Paul Masson, you fuckin' fine, all delicious with your in-the-bottle fermentation and horrific faux-French monstrous taste. I would totally drink you, both in this advert and one for frozen peas." when all he really wants to do is drink another $500 Dom Perignon in his dressing room. Like seriously imagine having to be Orson and not only sit in that chair while the extra pours his disgusting California champagne in front of you, the favorable lighting barely concealing the suspicious-looking sediment building in it, and just sit there, take after take, hour after hour, while he perfected that pour. Not only having to tolerate the monstrous fucking taste but Paul Masson's haughty attitude as everyone on set says it's VINTAGE DATED and DAMN, PAUL MASSON CHAMPAGNE TASTES LIKE THAT?? because they're not the ones who have to sit there and drink the disgusting fucking piss water contorting your palette into horrific flavours you didn't even know existed before that day. You've been drinking nothing but a healthy diet of Krug and Bollinger and later alleged moonshine for your ENTIRE CAREER coming straight out of the boonies in Wisconsin. You've never even drunk anything this fucking disgusting before, and now you swear you can taste the chemical contaminants in this mass produced sham pigswill as it's poured again and again for you, the extra smugly assured that you are enjoying the opportunity to get paid to sit there and revel in the "French excellence (for that is what they call it)", the excellence they worked so hard for with fermentation techniques in the previous months. And then the director calls for another take, and you know you could break a bottle and stab everyone in this room, but you sit there and endure, because you're fucking Orson Welles. You're drunk as fuck and don't know why the extra isn't doing anything. Just bear it. Slurr your lines and bear it.

>“You are the second cameraman to call me up and say you wanted to work with me,” Welles explained. “First there was Gregg Toland, who shot Citizen Kane … ” and now there was Gary Graver, who was absorbing that information when—suddenly—Welles grabbed him by the shoulders and tossed him to the floor. Moments later, Orson crashed beside him and threw a beefy arm over Graver’s back to pin him down.

>Unable to move, Graver began to wonder if maybe this hadn’t been such a great idea.

IMO a great movie with Orson is Touch of Evil, though he's not the main character. Make sure you don't watch the original theatrical cut (I don't even know where you can get that anymore) - like most of Welles' movies studios shredded the good parts into bits and made the movies generally worse. He actually used ultra-wide lenses to make his character look even fatter and more disgusting, to sell what a piece of shit Quinlan was supposed to be. Charlton Heston plays a Mexican (which is about as convincing as you'd expect) but the movie is GOAT.

Of course Kane is a great watch too but a lot has been said about it.

>>85404479
Chimes is pretty good, but the sound quality is fucking awful. Welles never had enough money to properly dub or do sound work on most of his later movies. I think he dubs like half the minor characters if not more.

>>85405393
Yes, lots of nuggets of wisdom from Orson, and tons of Hollywood gossip from that era.

Choice quote I saved:

>Women are another race. They’re like the moon, always changing. You can only win by being the cool center of their being. You have to represent something solid and loving. The anchor. Even if you’re not. You can’t tell them the truth. You have to lie and play games. I’ve never in my entire life been with someone with whom I didn’t have to play a game. I’ve never been with anyone with whom I could be exactly who I am.

>>85405458
>I’ve never been with anyone with whom I could be exactly who I am.

Compulsion is a pretty great Orson picture despite Welles himself only being on screen for maybe twenty minutes in total. Dean Stockwell playing one of the leads also adds a lot of niche enjoyment that you get out of the picture.
