The Anniversary of Welles's Death
Filmmaker Orson Welles died on October 10th (that's tomorrow) in 1985, at the age of 70. Here are a few links -- mostly videos -- in tribute to Mr. Welles:Here he is on the TV game show What's My Line in 1958 (and for parts 2 and 3, go here and here).
Or see him in one of his famous TV commercials for the winemaker Paul Masson.
And, if you have the time, check out this short film, titled One-Man Band (with some German narration and English subtitles).

Back in the days when you could still call it "California Champagne" without everyone jumping down your throat. Kind of refreshing, actually.
That maid wandering in the background at the opening is something special. "I like to cast a party the way I cast a play -- with a bit player in a French maid's outfit from about 1935."
