      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.

  • @edwardmulholland7912

    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.

    Mel Brooks paid him $25,000 for five days work to do a voice over for the movie History of the World, Part One .

      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 CZcams - 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.

      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.

    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.
