Stunning find especially in this condition, truly rare. In 1933 Orson would be only 18 and already in charge of the camera, the sets, the costumes, the script, the narration, the direction and the artwork in that book. The breadth of his refined talent and intellect never ceases to amaze me.

Apparently, it was filmed shortly before his 18th birthday in May 1933.

Huge thanks to Todd for sharing this with us all - a much more ambitious and accomplished early effort from Welles than I think any of us could have anticipated, though at this point we probably should have!

I've heard about this but I wasn't expecting to ever see it. What a great find!

In the light of such an amazing rediscovery, it feels very churlish indeed to request a telecine that preserves the original aspect ratio, but colour me churlish. I'm not exactly well-off but if any money is required for a new telecine I'd be happy to contribute to the pot.

Truly astounding. Thanks to Tarbox for sharing.

Thanks for adding this Todd and Ray. It is amazing how creative he was even then.

Thank you so much, Todd, for being willing to share this. And thank you as well, Ray, for your diligence and always amazing preservation efforts. I've always been a bit confused about just exactly when this production took place. Patrick McGilligan's book has him returning to Woodstock to do Twelfth Night right after his return from Dublin in the spring of 1932, not 1933. This actually makes more sense, as in the spring of 1933 he was away for three months traveling in Spain.

@jessereiswig9974 5 месяцев назад

OK; I found fairly definitive evidence that this would have been filmed in 1932, not 1933. The Woodstock Daily Sentinel of May 3, 1932 has, on the front page, an article about this production of Twelfth Night. It says the Todd Troupers won first place at the High School conference for the production the previous week. It mentions Todd's mother ("Joan (sic) Hill taking the part of the leading lady, that of 'Viola.'")
