Review of One Man Band

One Man Band (1999)
3/10
unwatchable crap from the master
2 February 2020
Because Orson Welles was one of the greatest cinematic geniuses of all time, and produced so little, the temptation is to see everything he ever made. Unfortunately, a lot of what one hopes will be hidden gems turn out to instead be cheap, poorly conceived shorts of the quality of a mediocre student film.

The first part of London is Welles doing a bunch of Churchill quotes. It's choppy and haphazardly filmed. This is followed by some attempt at Monty Pythonesqe humor with Welles dressed as a flower lady. It's neither funny nor coherent.,

I gave up in the middle of that second sequence. It's just all so wretched.
