Magic Trick (film)
Magic Trick is a short film made in 1953 by Orson Welles, for use in a show by magician Richard Himber.
It involves Welles on- screen interacting with Himber off- screen as the two play a card trick, and would have been projected life- size( in black and white) during Himber's touring stage show in the 1950s.
It was the first time Welles had filmed any magic tricks since his segment in the 1944 film" Follow the Boys"( which in turn used tricks
Welles originally staged in the 1943" The Mercury Wonder Show"); and from the late 1960s onwards, Welles would perform more of these tricks in public, most notably in" The Orson Welles Show"( 1979) and" Orson Welles' Magic Show"( 1976- 85).
You Walk So Softly
You Walk So Softly( German: Gustav Mond,
Du gehst so stille) is a 1927 German silent film directed by Reinhold Schünzel and starring Schünzel, Yvette Darnys and Jakob Tiedtke.
Schünzel ran into trouble with his superiors at UFA because he had not submitted his screenplay for approval before filming began.
The film's art direction was by Erich Czerwonski.
Reinhold Schünzel
Reinhold Schünzel (7 November 1888 – 11 November 1954) was a German actor and director, active in both Germany and the United States.
The son of a German father and a Jewish mother, he was born in St. Pauli, the poorest part of Hamburg.
Despite being Jewish, Schünzel was allowed by the Nazis to continue making films for several years until he eventually left to live abroad.
Orson Welles
George Orson Welles( May 6, 1915 – October 10, 1985) was an American actor, director, writer and producer who is remembered for his innovative work in radio, theatre and film.
He is considered one of the greatest film directors of all time.
While in his twenties Welles directed a number of high- profile stage productions for the Federal Theatre Project, including an adaptation of" Macbeth" with an entirely African American cast and the political musical" The Cradle Will Rock".
In 1937 he and John Houseman founded the Mercury Theatre, an independent repertory theatre company that presented a series of productions on Broadway through 1941, including" Caesar"( 1937), a Broadway adaptation of William Shakespeare's" Julius Caesar".
In 1938, his radio anthology series" The Mercury Theatre on the Air" gave Welles the platform to find international fame as the director and narrator of a radio adaptation of H. G. Wells's novel" The War of the Worlds", which caused widespread panic because many listeners thought that an invasion by extraterrestrial beings was actually occurring.
Although some contemporary sources say these reports of panic were mostly false and overstated, they rocketed Welles to notoriety.
His first film was" Citizen Kane"( 1941), which is consistently ranked as one of the greatest films ever made, which he co-wrote, produced, directed and starred in as Charles Foster Kane.
Welles released twelve other features, the most acclaimed of which include" The Magnificent Ambersons"( 1942)," The Lady from Shanghai"( 1947)," Touch of Evil"( 1958)," The Trial"( 1962)," Chimes at Midnight"( 1966) and" F for Fake"( 1973).
Welles was an outsider to the studio system, and struggled for creative control on his projects early on with the major film studios in Hollywood and later in life with a variety of independent financiers across Europe, where he spent most of his career.
Many of his films were either heavily edited or remained unreleased.
Some, like" Touch of Evil", have been painstakingly re-edited from his notes.
With a development spanning almost 50 years, Welles's final film," The Other Side of the Wind", was released in 2018.
His distinctive directorial style featured layered and nonlinear narrative forms, uses of lighting such as chiaroscuro, unusual camera angles, sound techniques borrowed from radio, deep focus shots and long takes.
He has been praised as" the ultimate auteur".
Welles had three marriages, including one with Rita Hayworth, and three children.
Known for his baritone voice, Welles performed extensively across theatre, radio and film.
He was a lifelong magician noted for presenting troop variety shows in the war years.
In 2002 he was voted the greatest film director of all time in two British Film Institute polls among directors and critics.
He was also included in the list of the 50 greatest Hollywood actors of all time by The Telegraph UK.
