Episode 31- Orson Welles: Mercurial Magician (Part 3 of 3)
Just as Orson Welles finally bowed out in 1985, we must do the same.
This time round Antony and Ghosty pick up Orson’s film career from his acting gig in the sublime ‘The Third Man’, a couple of returns to Shakespeare territory and a trio of absolute masterworks of his own making, namely ‘Touch of Evil’, ‘The Trial’ and ‘F For Fake’ (plus a couple of other films along the way).
Finally we look at interviews, his fall from grace into TV
commercials, more comparisons with Marlon Brando and a final summing-up of our feelings about his life and legacy.
We (and Orson up there in the clouds) hope that you have
enjoyed this latest series and Film Gold will be back before the end of the year for more. In the meantime, please check out Antony’s other podcasts (links
