Too Much Johnson

Taglines

Overview

This film was not intended to stand by itself, but was designed as the cinematic aspect of Welles' Mercury Theatre stage presentation of William Gillette's 1894 comedy about a New York playboy who flees from the violent husband of his mistress and borrows the identity of a plantation owner in Cuba who is expecting the arrival of a mail order bride. The film component of the performance was ultimately never screened due to the absence of projection facilities at the venue. Long-believed to be lost, a workprint was discovered in 2008 and the film had its premiere in 2013.

Overview

Orson Welles' første spillefilm, længe betragtet som tabt, indtil en kopi pludselig blev fundet og gendannet. 'Too much Johnson' er en fars historie om en mand efter en affære med en kvinde, der blev jaget af kvindens mand. Men trekantsdramaet bliver til en firkant, når det viser sig, at manden foregav at være en anden.

Troppo Johnson

Taglines

Overview

New York, tra la fine dell’Ottocento e l’inizio del Novecento. Un uomo, che con il nome fittizio di Alfred Johnson si finge proprietario di una piantagione di zucchero a Cuba, viene sorpreso a letto con la sua amante dal marito di lei. Questi riesce a strappare alla donna un pezzo della foto che ritrae il presunto Johnson e comincia a inseguirlo per le strade della Grande Mela, folle di gelosia. I due provocano scompiglio sia in un mercato sia sui tetti della città sia in una manifestazione di suffragette e arrivano fino a una nave che li porterà proprio a Cuba, dove continueranno ad inseguirsi…

Overview

Comedia muda rodada por Orson Welles en 1938 para proyectar, en forma de tres prólogos, junto a una obra de teatro del mismo título. Se creía perdida en un incendio que hubo en la casa de Welles en los años 70, pero en julio de 2013 se encontró una copia completa en Italia. Esta copia se restaurará para un estreno en octubre de 2013 en el Dryden Theatre de George Eastman House en Nueva York, con un posterior estreno online en el resto del mundo. (FILMAFFINITY)
