He didn’t sell out - Orson did this shit to survive and to finance his own projects. He was an incredible talent who was treated badly because he mocked those in power. The people in power have no sense of humor and can’t stand to be mocked because of the size of their egos and their inflated sense of their self importance. Orson kept on going, paying the price for daring to call out people in power for their contempt. This man is legendary.
People will comment how sad this is, but this is how he funded many of his plays and movies. He didn't some producer stopping by and telling him how to shoot a scene or who to cast. Guy was crowd funding before it existed.
No--he wasn't embarrassed with the Vivitar camera ad, he was being light and non-dramatic. Very fitting for a casual snapshot camera. A subtlety that shows he was adjusting his reading to the product. Contrast that with the more rich and weighty deluvery of the burgundy copy. The white wine readings were somewhere in between.
Mel Brooks paid him $25,000 for five days work to do a voice over for the movie History of the World, Part One . Brooks said they started about 9am on a Monday and by 11am Mr. Wells had finished the narration and it was spot on perfect . What was supposed to of taken 5 days was done in 2 hours .
That's because most actors are spoiled prima donnas who intentionally take 5 days to do a 2 hour job, so producers set aside 5 days in the schedule. Welles wanted his money and fast, so he got it done right the first time
@@commanderkeen3787Pretty simplistic and pessimistic take. Sometimes the director wants many different interpretations that could stretch out several days too. Brooks happened to think everything Wells did in two hours was perfect.
Cocktail idea: the Citizen Kane. Perrier mixed with a hefty dose of Paul Masson, with a fucking ink cartridge dunked in the middle of it all. *Perfection*
He did radio commercials in the 80s for a restaurant chain called Reuben's. The entire commercial was him just reading items from their menu ("Readings from the Reuben's menu, by Mr. Orson Welles". It was fantastic. NOTE: They also did similar commercials with Vincent Price and James Earl Jones.
These make me respect orson even more. If i were the greatest artist of all time i would use my name to sell fishsticks and no one could tell me anything
@@KangarooMonkey you say it loses integrity, i say it takes passion. Being willing to look silly so that he has the funds to do what he loves, creating stories, theres nothing more intelligent than that i think.
Welles complained to the Paul Masson people about over-the-top copy, talking up California ordìnaire as if it was a European vintage. They showed him more money and his objections ceased. He made large sums from ads: enough to sustain a very pleasant lifestyle, but not enough to get his films finished. For that he relied on dubious deals with shady characters, and so few did get finished.
I like that he has a a sort of mini flashback every time he delivers his lines that what Paul Masson said a century ago is still true now. I wonder if they directed him to look bewildered or look around and act like you are remembering something profound. He makes it seem like he was there when Paul Masson said that infamous slogan

Ahhhhhh.... The Vivitar from Lincolnshire where the peas grow in July and are picked by Paul Masson where he lives in a Dark Tower. He quiches his thirst with Perrier.
Thanks for putting this together. (1:59 that's the theme from The Third Man (interestingly, The Beatles also played it at one point on the new Get Back documentary)
The greatest board game commercial of all-time is Dark Tower featuring Orson Welles. Good find - it seems to be available elsewhere with sound. It will never be surpassed.
5:30 A sound comes over the stereo that is similar to the sound of a semi trucks horn and a dying air raid siren. Orson turns the stereo off and looks directly into the camera. Orson: It took Beethoven four years to write that symphony....
I just looked this up. The voice actor for Brain, (from the show, Pinky and the Brain) was influenced by Orsen Welles. They even made a joke about it when Pinky met Welles in a restaurant. They both shout "Things will be different when I take over the world!"
He wasn't drunk, his assistant director THOUGHT he was though. He had a late shoot the night before and ended up taking a sleeping pill that kicked in as soon as the commercial shoot started. Once it wore off, they did the commercial just fine.
@@ZyxthePest he also had a heart attack the next day, and anyone who has had a family member suffer that sort of event knows that people with cardiovascular blockages usually are 'off' in ways that are noticeable in hindsight, for a day or two before the event.
What a voice. I love Orson, guerrilla film making at its finest. The only ads I remember were the ones for Sandeman Sherry/Port, with his cloak and Fedora. Y'now, I really fancy some Paul Masson right about now.
In a just world, they would have just shoved piles of money at him and said "Here! Go create great things! Whatever you want, as long as it's not commercials!"
I'll take questionably intoxicated Orson Welles shilling for Paul Masson any day, over that obnoxious, emotionally unstable TextNow guy yelling about "side hustles" and all of that, who happens to incessantly appear before practically every video I want to watch on RUclips - along with the twats pushing scammy solar panels, that irritating "4Patriots" survivalist guy... And all the AI British-sounding robovoiced scam ads for drones, monoculars, air coolers, phone chargers, ear flossers, etc.
3:28 I literally just saw some of the outtakes for this commercial. How they managed to get him to sound and look even remotely sober is extraordinary.
What follows is a terrifying journey into the world of probate, beneficiaries, and GOBLINS! …Fine, fine, no goblins. I give you... THE LIVING WILL! *evil laugh*

I had no idea he did so many commercials for so many products. I remember the "we will sell no wine" thing, but - photocopiers? Board games? Cameras? Un-cable TV, whatever that is? Whiskey? (And how many takes did it require to do the whiskey commercial?) The only thing missing is the frozen peas.
Poor Orson Wells who at that time made commericals to make money, and you know he hated doing that. Paul Masson Champagne he was drunk and they had to edited it to make him look not so drunk.
A great iconic voice and actor. He was wanted and hired as a narrator/actor and talk show guest and people offered him jobs he found so easy and they paid him plenty. Everyone needs money. He found it difficult to get funding for his own movie and theatrical projects but was greatly wanted in other ways. E. G. Mel Brooks hired him to narrate his movie 'history of the world' and Mel booked the audio recording studio for a week to hopefully get most of the narration recorded in time with the shot scenes and agreed a price of 50,000 dollars to complete it as Mel guessed it would take at least a week. Orson did it to perfection exactly timed with every scene of the movie, it took him 2 hours on the first morning. He took his 50,000 dollars and Mel said 'I guess you'll be spending this all on champagne and beluga caviar?' and Orson replied 'No no not at all, I can get astaria caviar, it's half the price and. Every bit as good!'.

THE CRITIC
Rosebud Frozen Peas, full of country goodness and green peaness. Wait, that's terrible. I quit!
I'd love to see Orson Welles playing Dark Tower in a basement with a group of 13-year-old nerds.
He'd probably be a great DM
He'd be victorious!
In his company, they wouldn’t be nerds anymore;; they’d be the coolest kids ever.
Imagine that man as a dungeon master
I bet he could beat Chuck Norris at it.
He didn’t sell out - Orson did this shit to survive and to finance his own projects.
He was an incredible talent who was treated badly because he mocked those in power.
The people in power have no sense of humor and can’t stand to be mocked because of the size of their egos and their inflated sense of their self importance.

This man is legendary.
The concept of selling out is cringe hipster commie crap which Orson Welles certainly was not.
Yes he did lol can't deny it
He didn't sell out, he just sold out.
Wait, what?
You believe that story? Fredo?
"He didn't sell out" I read this as he was shilling the amazing Dark Tower game and just had a great laugh, thanks!

Orson was doing commercials as early as 1938. Would be cool if someone compiled and posted his work as The Shadow, helping sell tires - in character.
He says the Paul Masson slogan in a sexier voice each time
That japanese whiskey commercial was brutal.
The backing track was a piano rendition of the theme from The Third Man, which starred Welles in 1949
Think it was a 'tribute" copy of.
The audio and picture were not in sync.
The laboured breathing is what does it for me
That must have been where they got the idea for the whisky commercial in Lost in Translation.

Fun Fact : Paul Masson ultimately paid Orson Welles a 36% stake of shares in the Company for Welles' work in these *pivotal* set of commercials.
Even funnier fact: The company fired Orson Welles when he said he was going on a diet.
Of these, the only products I'm absolutely convinced he used were the drinks.
