George Orson Welles (/ˈwɛlz/; May 6, 1915 – October 10, 1985) was an American actor, director, writer, and producer who worked in theatre, radio, and film. He is remembered for his innovative work in all three: in theatre, most notably Caesar (1937), a Broadway adaptation of William Shakespeare's Julius Caesar; in radio, the 1938 broadcast "The War of the Worlds", one of the most famous in the history of radio; and in film, Citizen Kane (1941), consistently ranked as one of the all-time greatest films.
Welles directed a number of high-profile stage productions for the Federal Theatre Project in his early twenties, including an innovative adaptation of Macbeth with an entirely African American cast, and the political musical The Cradle Will Rock. In 1937 he and John Houseman founded the Mercury Theatre, an independent repertory theatre company that presented an acclaimed series of productions on Broadway through 1941. Welles found national and international fame as the director and narrator of a 1938 radio adaptation of H. G. Wells' novel The War of the Worlds performed for his radio anthology series The Mercury Theatre on the Air. It reportedly caused widespread panic when listeners thought that an invasion by extraterrestrial beings was occurring. Although some contemporary sources claim these reports of panic were mostly false and overstated, they rocketed Welles to notoriety.

Orson Welles's life was magical: a musical prodigy at age 10, a director of Shakespeare at 14, a painter at 16, a star of stage and radio at 20, romances with some of the most beautiful women in the world, including Rita Hayworth. His work was similarly extraordinary, most notably Citizen Kane, (considered by many to be the most important movie ever made), created by Welles when he was only 25. In the years following Citizen Kane, Welles's career continued to change as he made film after film (some never finished...

(Orson Welles’s Last Film to be Released…The Other Side of the Wind http://beautydelux.com/2014/11/21/orson-welless-film-released-the-side-wind/) “I first met Orson Welles toward the end of 1968,” says Bogdanovich in his introduction, “and not long after we began taping our conversations for a book about his career that he hoped would ‘set the record straight.’ We started in his bungalow at the Beverly Hills Hotel, and then resumed a couple of weeks later in Guaymas, Mexico, where Orson was acting in the movie of Catch-22.” Their talks continued in places from New York’s Plaza Hotel and Rome’s Hotel Eden to, for whatever reason, Carefree, Arizona, exploring not just the well-known chapters of Welles’ career, but his experiences with now-overlooked or never-completed projects like most of h...
Orson Welles - War Of The Worlds - Radio Broadcast 1938 - Complete Broadcast. The War of the Worlds was an episode of the American radio drama anthology series Mercury Theatre on the Air. It was performed as a Halloween episode of the series on October 30, 1938 and aired over the Columbia Broadcasting System radio network. Directed and narrated by Orson Welles, the episode was an adaptation of H. G. Wells' novel The War of the Worlds. The first two thirds of the 60-minute broadcast were presented as a series of simulated "news bulletins", which suggested to many listeners that an actual alien invasion by Martians was currently in progress. Compounding the issue was the fact that the Mercury Theatre on the Air was a 'sustaining show' (it ran without commercial breaks), thus adding to the p...

This is en excerpt from the program "Monitor" (recorded in October 1963 at the BBC). Right around this time O'Toole was playing Hamlet at the National Theatre, under the direction of Laurence Olivier. Also in the conversation are Huw Wheldon (the host) and veteran actor Ernest Milton. The atmosphere reflect this progamme's original late-night timeslot.

Harry Cohn ruined a scene by inserting music into it.
El 30 de Octubre de 1938, alrededor de las ocho de la tarde, el Estudio Uno de la Columbia Broadcasting de Nueva York se convirtió en el escenario donde Orson Welles interpretaría, acompañado de la compañía teatral Mercury que el mismo dirigía, la novela del escritor británico H. G. Wells: La Guerra de los Mundos. La dramatización ofrecida por la popular emisora CBS en el particular contexto de la Gran Depresión americana lograría dejar los 59 minutos más famosos de la historia de la radio, marcando un paradigma. El pánico cundió entre los millones de habitantes que escuchaban la radio en sus hogares, creyendo que la adaptación radiofónica de la novela, que adoptó el formato de noticiario de última hora, no era ficción sino realidad y que EE.

From this point on, here's what you have to do: listen to each New Bomb Turks as an individual song. If you try to listen to these albums as full-on album experiences, they will all sound like endless collections of interchangeable fuzztones. But they aren't! They're great songs! They're just all really similar, so's youse gots tos pays attentions. That's my Dave Concepcion anyway. So yeah, this album reveals that the guys are actually a highly energetic garage rock band. A good deal of the songs are still fast as hell punkish attacks, but there are more than a couple midtempo tunes that you can't really slamdance to unless you're an overexcited youth who'll slamdance to anything, like those "winners" at the Pixies concert I attended several years back. Because sir, when you want Nazi ski...
