Me and Orson Welles Page #2

will introduce me to?

David O. Selznick.

It is not just a time nonsense.

David O. Selznick.

Him to be to incorporate

"Gone with the Wind."

Does this mean

that you will not marry me?

I do not know. Late, I believe.

Mom, the librarian comes.

I must run.

Save a little spaghetti to me.

I love you too. Goodbye.

Well, you're in two real scenes.

Both are short.

Brutus, Orson, speaks with Portia,

played by Muriel Brassler.

A b*tch, but nobody can say anything

because Orson has an affair with her.

Orson married.

Yes, definitely.

Little Virginia.

She is now much sex.

She is very pregnant.

They have a small apartment

in Greenwich Village, but ...

he has sent her to the

the other side of river.

And if someone shouts "Anna Stafford"

it is a code word for Virginia.

So she is there and Orson must save

Ballerina he is about to seduce.

Mercury sounds interesting.

If people ask,

are you a member of the associated -

and get 25 dollars a week.

Fine.

- No.

You are not 25 dollars a week.

You get nothing more than -

possibility of being swamped

with Orson saliva.

Please stop.

Shall we get started?

Jack, you will soon realize

that the main job of Mercury -

is waiting for Orson.

Go.

Norman, you will see on your biographical

the program is correct?

Anything for you, my girl.

- Richard, thanks for dinner today.

Have you eaten dinner

with isdronningen?

Jack, all men in this

performance will in skirts at her.

It has not even Joe Cotten been

and he has otherwise been widely.

Just like that no longer Orson.

We have not even an executive.

You talk like a bureaucrat, Jacko.

A petty "disturb me for God's sake

no lunch break "bureaucrat.

That is why I left The Federal.

To tell the press that release date

still preliminary, is frivolous ...

And exactly!

- We have subscribers! We try to ...

There are released when we're ready.

- On Thursday, or we are finished!

I can not exercise,

when this man is in the theater!

This is ...

an infinitely rewarding partnership

Orson. They are destroying everything.

They treat friends

and supporters as bad -

and then I desperately

their case out.

It is I who must apologize, correct

mistakes and make phone calls!

I'm busy playing with in a

some f***ing radio broadcasts -

just to post my money in this

damn theater that you should look!

As I should look? I slave away day

and night to try to manage it!

Have you seen the ancient creatures

on the cover of Time? Look.

Damn, Mr and Mrs Lunt!

Listen. Before the year is over,

I am ... We are on the cover of Time.

At this stage

signed to theater history.

With you and me, and with

all of us in the leading roles.

Orson!

I'm exhausted

and will not let me mark of -

the arrogance and jealousy,

I can feel. You get your first.

All the meanness. I get choked.

- Thursday!

Speak of me as a man

who loved Mercury -

not wisely, but too high.

Anna Stafford!

It was shown Stanislavsky,

who said to Max Reinhardt ...

Ginny! What a surprise.

How goes it, my angel?

Now I do.

- Thank you.

It's great to see you.

I come back tonight.

I have bony

to get 100 liters of red paint.

I would like to speak with you

about the program. There is an error.

It is addressed.

- It says nothing about my contributions.

It is rough draft. Everything is fixed.

Ask even Sonja. Coulouris!

My pineapple juice! Forum scene.

Let us gather our forces.

Coulouris, so it is now!

Where is the wretched fool?

Say that Coulouris should get

his useless body out here.

Who leads this show?

- I would also like to know.

One comment more, Mr Lloyd,

and your loved Cinna-scene deleted.

But we should not exert

my beloved Cinna-scene?

Practicing? I thought

you were a champion to improvise.

The Federal Charles Chaplin.

Mr. Coulouris,

you look great beyond.

I thought we practiced with costumes.

But as you cut into the piece, -

could my role

equally well be written off.

Antony's funeral speech

play's climax. Everybody knows it.

The audience will whisper it

in chorus with you.

Yes, if they are still awake after

the numerous scenes with you and Gabel.

To every single scene with Cassius

be included with all dialogue preserved -

while the scenes with Anthony,

all of which you know has an important role -

be cut down to 40 lines

is something I do not understand.

But Gabel is the director's favorite.

Just as Olivier was -

when we played together at Elsie

Fogerty acting school in London.

George! The material in

"Friends, Romans, countrymen" -

is not the actual speech,

but its effect on the audience.

You listen.

You judge their reactions.

You end up. You control them.

- Orson.

Do you think that you can teach me something

I do not know?

Duthie!

They spoil my role, and now will you

kill us. What orchestration!

Contemporary clothing.

They can not afford costumes -

or a scene without holes.

Lemme in the floor is as old as

Shakespeare. This is not for children.

I thought you rehearsed your lines.

- I pity my good lines.

Go and close the door. Someone banks.

- Lord, Cassius stands at the door.

Is he one?

- There is someone with him.

Not "no" but "more".

The Shakespeare poetry.

Do you think you can change the world

greatest playwright words?

No I ...

- Rehearse your lines.

I can my lines.

- You must exert yourself "several" times.

This scene must humanize

whole piece historical procession.

We weep for Brutus dead

due to this scene.

The beautiful lullaby prisoners

all his unspeakable sadness.

A lullaby that I have taken from

Henry the Eighth, 3rd Act 1st scene.

Has he got ukulele? Sonja,

he must use music for the song.

Your mother is

very dissatisfied with you.

Why?

- Because you came home after midnight.

Jeez, however. All the meanness.

I get choked.

When he gets to the ladder top ...

- I have not heard of colorless light.

Hello.

Where's the color filters?

- Muriel, the ones we take care of later.

Light pink is the only color

which effectively highlights -

my natural skin tone. Jeannie,

you'll be sweet to put these in?

Do whatever she says. I will

just do not hear more about the skin tones.

Understood? Me recite my soliloquy

in the foreground on the right.

But it is known,

that humility often is ...

Should you be there?

Will you instruct the play? We could indeed

throw a bright pink light over the audience.

I will not look like a giant

that hovers over you. People will laugh.

No. People will not even look at you.

- There you can see for yourself.

People will not look at you,

because they listen to you.

Hypnotized by poetry. Precisely the

is magic in the play, not skin tone.

I just want to have you come up here

before I come on stage.

Thank you.

- Anything for you, Muriel.

Can you make light down here?

When light hits correctly -

To a butterfly-shaped shadow

prove under the nose. We continue.

Be just patience!

Wait! I went too far when I

told. I fear that -
