*blushing* So very honored to have my comment mentioned, Mike!
Will also add that I never thought “Eurovision” would be for me, but ended up loving it. Much like, as a history nerd, had to be arm wrestled into watching “A Knight’s Tale.”
Orson Welles, born not far from where I live now (though, he’d say he hated the place), is also on my To Be Viewed list - watched “The Third Man” not long ago, and have a few more in my queue. There are a few clips online of him on the “Dean Martin Show” — doing Falstaff, and then a follow-up performing a Shylock monologue. Looking forward to any discussion!
Hey Misha! I have a huge soft spot for the eEurovision movie. Great use of Trolls.
Happy to talk Orson. Fascinating genius who got crushed at every turn. He only got his Falstaff movie made by telling the producers and studio he was off making a more box-office friendly Treasure Island. Both Braveheart and Saving Pvt Ryan were influenced by its battle scene. I highly recommend F for Fake (1973) which is where I flipped from liking him to pure admiration. He also couldn’t give a dull interview if he tried.
