ScottJCollette: Here's another: the story behind Orson Welles' story credit on Charlie Chaplin's MONSIEUR VERDOUX (1947) is that he approached Chaplin about playing a murderer in a film he was writing, but never sent Chaplin a script, so he got impatient, stole the idea, and made it himself.

MugginsMcS: The Muggins Film Festival returns with an Orson Welles Edition. His entire filmography will be watched and engaged with. Now his 1941 debut, CITIZEN KANE, a flawless work of art that is still influential on 2023. Orson is a Top 5 director for me and this is a big reason why!

jdsj080: Orson Welles Drunk Outtakes for Paul Masson Wine Commercial

Andrew Lang Poem
Ballade Of The Midnight Forest
