TV Review - Around the World With Orson Welles
Around the World With Orson Welles (1955)
directed by Orson Welles
rating: 4 out of 5 cravats
on DVD from B. Sweet
There's lots to recommend these five episodes from Orson's "grande" * years - on lots of levels - but he really hits his stride when he teams up with lazy-eyed youngster Chris from the Basque country and starts demanding cherries ("I'm hungry"), translations ("In English, Chris"), and betting tips ("So that kid's the best pelote player?"). God rest your heckled soul, Mr. Welles.
