Germany: Peter-Presse / Atlas Films 1966. Original German A1 poster for a 1966 German re-release of the 1942 US film. <br/><br/>Orson Welles' followup to "Citizen Kane" 1941 was utterly different from Kane in style and texture but just as brilliant in its own way. Writer-director Welles does not appear on camera but his voiceover narration superbly sets the stage for the movie's action which fades in valentine fashion on Amberson Mansion the most ostentatious dwelling in all of turn-of-century Indianapolis. Despite the legendarily unsolvable problem of film editor Robert Wise being instructed by the studio-outside Welles' knowledge-to edit away nearly an hour of the film's length it remains a masterpiece of storytelling bringing Tarkington's Pulitzer winning novel to life in high style. <br/><br/>Shipping billed at cost. Item can only be shipped within the US. <br/><br/>23 x 33 inches non-archivally mounted on board. Light rubbing and soil and a few edge nicks and chips. Very Good.

Shot and struck by noted photographer Nicolas Tikhomoroff with his rubber stamp and the stamp of his Parisian agency V.I.P. on the verso. <br/><br/>"Chimes at Midnight" Welles' third of three legendary Shakespearean adaptations and last masterpiece is based on his early play "Five Kings" which condensed Shakespeare's War of the Roses cycle into one story. Welles produced the play in New York in 1939 but the opening night during which Part 1 was performed was a disaster and Part 2 was never staged. He revamped the show and revisited it in 1960 again without success. The later production became the basis for this film in which Welles plays Falstaff. <br/><br/>"Chimes at Midnight" as with nearly all of Welles' efforts as a director was plagued by financial and logistical problems shot with nearly no budget and received no promotion and a very limited release.
