Year Film Notes
1938 Too Much Johnson Lost film
1942 It's All True
1968 Vienna
1968-71 Orson Welles' London[16][17][18] Short film (29 minutes) originally developed for CBS under the titles Around the World with Orson Welles, Orson's Bag, Official Guide to London, and One-Man Band, but not released until its 1999 restoration by Munich Film Museum. Consists of 5 segments: Churchill, Swinging London, Four Clubmen, Tailors, and Stately Homes. The segments are complete except for Four Clubmen which lacks a dialogue track. The segments were shot in 1968 and lay unedited until in 1971, Welles on a different filmstock made a few framing narrative shots of himself walking around London and introducing each segment. Described as very "Pythonesque" by various reviewers (see sources on the left), which is significant because Monty Python's Flying Circus was not aired before 1969. A shortened, not restored version of the segment Swinging London appeared in the documentary Orson Welles: One-Man Band on the 2005 Criterion DVD of F for Fake.
1969 Don Quixote
1969 The Merchant of Venice
1970 The Deep
1976 The Other Side of the Wind
