What a fascinating evening! Is there a part two? Thank you so much for posting this wonderful piece.

This is the only surviving footage I am afraid.

Too bad that this is all there is, as it is a fascinating document.

He handled what was essentially a heckler with great skill and patience

[@fasteddie9867]

When movie stars were well-spoken and had class. The restored "Othello" has many moments of brilliance.

This is Fantastic!

13:06 Not one but TWO giants in one video; the legendary Orson Welles AND the just as talented (though unjustly forgotten) mr Anew McMaster. What an extraordinary historical document this is 🙌🏼

[@markscholz1219]

Thankfully he repeats the questions

Remarkable

[@B90-y6n]

God damn rings relevant now as it must have then or maybe he was just predicting.

Too bad he was such good friends with Churchill

[@ardalire651]

He wasn't good friends with him. He just used Churchill to get money for his films--did the same with a lot of similar blowhards. Welles conned "big men" for his own gain, and his politics were very far from Churchill's.
