All six episodes or Orson Welles’ Sketch Book, a series of 15-minute commentaries by the auteur on a variety of subjects, which ran on the BBC in 1955. Meandering, but off-the-cuff and fun. Each one features some of Welles’ drawing. I’ve embedded Episode 3: “The Police,” in which the host discusses intrusions into privacy by government and modernization.
- Episode 1: “The Early Days“
- Episode 2: “Critics“
- Episode 4: “Houdini/John Barrymore/Voodoo Story/The People I Missed“
- Episode 5: “The War of the Worlds“
- Episode 6: “Bullfighting“
