Orson Welles
featuring
Orson Welles, Joseph Cotten, Everett Sloane, Dorothy Comingore, Ray Collins, Ruth Warrick, George Coulouris
Orson Welles first feature film -- which he directed, produced, and co-wrote, as well as playing the title role -- proved to be his most important and influential work, a ground-breaking drama loosely based on the life of William Randolph Hearst which is frequently cited as the finest American film ever made. Aging newspaper magnate Charles Foster ...

Charlton Heston, Janet Leigh, Orson Welles, Joseph Calleia, Akim Tamiroff
This baroque nightmare of a south-of-the-border mystery is considered to be one of the great movies of Orson Welles, who both directed and starred in it. On honeymoon with his new bride, Susan (Janet Leigh), Mexican-born policeman Mike Vargas (Charlton Heston) agrees to investigate a bomb explosion. In so doing, he incurs the wrath of local police ...

The Lady from Shanghai

directed by
Orson Welles
featuring
Rita Hayworth, Orson Welles, Everett Sloane, Ted de Corsia, Glenn Anders, Gus Schilling
The Lady From Shanghai, a complex, involving puzzle-within-a-puzzle mystery story, is a showcase for Orson Welles, showing his singular talents and sensibilities as few other films have. The story is superficially simple: a seaman Michael O'Hara (Welles) is hired as a crew member on the yacht of the wealthy Banister (Everett Sloane). His beautiful ...

The Stranger

directed by
Orson Welles
featuring
Orson Welles, Edward G. Robinson, Loretta Young, Philip Merivale, Byron Keith, Martha Wentworth, Richard Long
The Stranger is often considered Orson Welles' most "traditional" Hollywood-style directorial effort. Welles plays a college professor named Charles Rankin, who lives in a pastoral Connecticut town with his lovely wife Mary (Loretta Young). One afternoon, an extremely nervous German gentleman named Meineke (Konstantin Shayne) arrives in town. ...

The Magnificent Ambersons
(1942)
more movies like this
directed by
Orson Welles
featuring
Joseph Cotten, Dolores Costello, Anne Baxter, Tim Holt, Agnes Moorehead
Orson Welles' followup to Citizen Kane (1941) was utterly different from Kane in style and texture, but just as brilliant in its own way. Writer/director Welles does not appear on camera, but his voiceover narration superbly sets the stage for the movie's action, which fades in valentine fashion on Amberson Mansion, the most ostentatious ...

The Trial
(1963)
more movies like this
directed by
Orson Welles
featuring
Anthony Perkins, Jeanne Moreau, Romy Schneider, Elsa Martinelli, Suzanne Flon, Akim Tamiroff
Much of Orson Welles' latter-day reputation as an "unfathomable" genius rests upon his seeming unwillingness to tell a story in clear, precise fashion. Sometimes, as in such films as Touch of Evil, Welles' spotty storytelling skills can be forgiven in the light of the excellent visuals. In other cases, as in his 1962 adaptation of Kafka's The ...

Othello
(1952)
more movies like this
directed by
Orson Welles
featuring
Orson Welles, Michael MacLiammoir, Michael Laurence, Suzanne Cloutier, Robert Coote
Anyone interested in making a low-budget movie ought to see Orson Welles' screen adaptation of William Shakespeare's Othello, a striking example of how much can be achieved with very little money. For years, stories about this singularly troubled movie circulated more widely than the film itself; Welles began shooting Othello without securing full ...

F for Fake
(1973)
more movies like this
directed by
Orson Welles
featuring
Orson Welles, Oja Kodar, Joseph Cotten, François Reichenbach
The final directorial project the legendary Orson Welles completed during his lifetime, F for Fake is less a documentary than an example of cinematic free association on the topic of trickery. Much of the film is in fact drawn from other sources, most notably an unfinished documentary by Francois Reichenbach on the notorious Elmyr de Hory, whose ...

directed by
Orson Welles
featuring
Orson Welles, Jack Watling, Michael Redgrave, Patricia Medina, Akim Tamiroff, Mischa Auer, Robert Arden
Also known as Mr. Arkadin, this flawed late effort by director Orson Welles recalls the structure of Citizen Kane, centering around an investigation into the past of a powerful millionaire. This time around, however, the millionaire is very much alive; in fact, it is Gregory Arkadin (Welles) himself who orders the inquiry, claiming to suffer from ...

The Dominici Affair

directed by
Orson Welles
Planned as an episode of his mid-'50s television series Around the World With Orson Welles, The Dominici Affair proves that Orson Welles was just as innovative a television director as he was a filmmaker and radio artist. Welles left the film unfinished, leaving only a rough cut in a vault in France. This documentary includes a reconstruction of ...

Francisco Reiguera, Akim Tamiroff, Orson Welles
Over the course of his lifetime, the legendary director Orson Welles (1915-1985) was forced to leave many of his grander movie-making projects unfinished, generally for want of sustained financial backing. Each successive unfinished effort generated buzz throughout the worshipful film community that only served to brighten the luster of his legend ...

Macbeth

Orson Welles
featuring
Orson Welles, Jeanette Nolan, Dan O'Herlihy, Roddy McDowall, Edgar Barrier
Shakespeare's tragic tale of the rise and fall of ambitious 12th-century Scottish warrior MacBeth has proven irresistible to filmmakers. Orson Welles was so anxious to transfer the play to the screen that he acceded to the demands of his parent studio, Republic pictures, that he shoot his version of MacBeth in 23 days on standing B-western sets. ...

Orson Welles, John Gielgud, Jeanne Moreau, Norman Rodway, Keith Baxter
The legendary Shakespearean character Sir John Falstaff, the notoriously drunken, obese, and yet charming companion of the young Henry V, steps up from supporting character in several plays to the central focus of Orson Welles' Chimes at Midnight, considered by many critics the best of the director's acclaimed Shakespeare films. The script borrows ...
