Ed Wood
Is there a reason for Ed Wood to be on here? Welles was never 'in' Ed Wood and I'm pretty sure he has been 'in' other movies as played by an actor. I won't change anything myself but its something to ponder I think as I really see no reason for that to be there. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 173.230.160.164 (talk) 09:27, 22 August 2010 (UTC)
- Who can say? There is now a whole section for films featuring fictional portrayals of Welles. They might belong somewhere, but they certainly don't belong in an Orson Welles filmography. The same for documentaries about him.Meerta (talk) 03:59, 15 January 2019 (UTC)
Incomplete films
Earlier today I reverted an edit moving Don Quixote (unfinished film) and The Other Side of the Wind from the "Unfinished films" section to the "Feature films" section of his filmography as director. Neither of these films was completed by Welles; they are unfinished, in the context of this article being titled Orson Welles filmography. Orson Welles did not finish them. A subsequent edit has restored those two titles to the Feature films section, and I challenge it. Details regarding the subsequent versions of the films should be contributed to the individual articles on these two films—both of which are described in the lede (and in one case, the article title) as unfinished. — WFinch (talk) 18:28, 19 March 2016 (UTC)
- After removing the duplicate titles, I've incorporated some of the contributions made to provide updates on Don Quixote and The Other Side of the Wind. Other examples of incomplete films that were posthumously released by others in some form are It's All True, Filming The Trial, One Man Band and Orson Welles' Magic Show. These titles, too, appropriately appear in the "Incomplete films" section of the Orson Welles filmography as director. — WFinch (talk) 18:59, 19 March 2016 (UTC)
Category for Too Much Johnson
I am reverting four edits — one that adds Welles's credit as narrator of The Magnitificent Ambersons to his Production credits (this credit is present in the Performance section), and three involving Too Much Johnson. By way of explanation, Too Much Johnson is not a completed feature film. It is correctly listed, with a reliable source cited, as an unfinished film fragment for a stage production.
The National Film Preservation wrote that the "2014 edit of the Too Much Johnson work print is one rough guess at how the three films—the short silent movies intended to precede each act of the 1938 stage production—might have looked if Orson Welles and his Mercury Theatre colleagues had completed them." It is not a film that was completed by Welles. — WFinch (talk) 12:39, 23 April 2017 (UTC)
- After Too Much Johnson was moved again today, I moved it back to the correct section and added a second citation for its correct placement. — WFinch (talk) 19:08, 26 May 2017 (UTC)
Credits for Journey into Fear
In addition to again moving Too Much Johnson to the wrong section of this filmography (see section above), an anonymous editor persists in deleting Orson Welles's contributions to Journey into Fear from the Production credits section. I will restore them yet again. For the record, this is how the citation reads in the source, This is Orson Welles, in the "Welles' Career" section:
Journey into Fear (Mercury Productions, RKO Radio Picrtures). D: Norman Foster (and, uncredited, OW). P (uncredited): OW. … Sc: JC (and, uncredited, OW), based on the Eric Ambler novel. …
Welles's credits as director, producer and screenwriter for Journey into Fear also appear in Orson Welles at Work (Phaidon, 2008). I will add this second citation after I restore the content. — WFinch (talk) 18:54, 26 May 2017 (UTC)
