Me and Orson Welles Page #5

Synopsis: In November 1937, high school student and aspiring thespian Richard Samuels takes a day trip into New York City. There, he meets and begins a casual friendship with Gretta Adler, their friendship based on a shared love and goal of a profession in the creative arts. But also on this trip, Richard stumbles across the Mercury Theatre and meets Orson Welles, who, based on an impromptu audition, offers Richard an acting job as Lucius in his modern retelling of Julius Caesar, which includes such stalwart Mercury Theatre players as Joseph Cotten and George Coulouris. Despite others with official roles as producer John Houseman, this production belongs to Welles, the unofficial/official dictator. In other words, whatever Welles wants, the cast and crew better deliver. These requests include everything, even those of a sexual nature. Welles does not believe in conventions and will do whatever he wants, which includes not having a fixed opening date, although the unofficial opening date is in on

- 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 -

that I am doing injustice to the honest men

if daggers struck Caesar.

Then there was Jeanette Bradley. She was

me unfaithful, when she went to bed Orson.

But that evening I met Velma Lord

and later Muriel Brassler.

Let hear.

She would be like a gymnast.

Yes, she is flexible.

She took a good grip on the block flute?

What about Evelyn?

She has since style.

- I love her smile.

I love her buckle.

- And her ... smooth curves.

Here we have a beautiful girl.

- I love her face.

Hello, Richard. How have

my favorite member this?

Fine.

Have not you got a new blouse?

- Yes. Thank you noticed.

If you read my favorite novel?

- I will discuss it with Selznick.

When do you see with him?

- He may come to the premiere.

Is it true? I must be on stage in

a completely inexperienced scene -

and then comes Selznick?

You big Chinaman

I put an end to my career

on Broadway and in Hollywood simultaneously.

Impressive, if you take him.

- I do.

Sonja, I have discovered a wonderful

little place in Greenwich Village.

May I take you there tonight

after the test? They keep long open.

It is an incredibly

generous offer, but -

I have an agreement with Richard.

It was just for fun.

- Welcome to the line shift.

What is it?

In a novel describes intimate cosiness not

as the book was not published.

So it becomes:
"He held her close,

and threw himself on the bed. "Connect.

Line shift.

Yes, and in the next paragraph reads:

"The sun rises and the milkman

suggests milk bottles at each other. "

The good thing is there.

Fertilises hope his next 30 years

will be in line switch.

Have you ... with ...?

- No, unfortunately. But I've tried.

No line breaks?

- I've spent $ 30 on the slut.

A bet. Two dollars for him;

who first come in skirts on Sonja.

It is indescribably rough.

- It's sordid and degrading.

So when five U.S. dollars.

It is an agreement.

Tight lines.

- It does this increase is likely.

Faster!

Here are a sick, who will talk to you.

- Higher!

It was better. Go out to the left.

Scene left side!

How did that?

- I got tears in his eyes.

Friends, Romans, countrymen,

lend me ear!

Let us listen to Antony.

- I come to bury Caesar.
