When The Psychotic Hour
was offered the chance to work with legendary film director
Orson Welles, we jumped at it.
At first,
Mr. Welles did not warm to Tph’s working style. “I
wouldn’t direct any living actor like this in Shakespeare
when you do this, it’s impossible” he said at
our first meeting. But after promises of film funding and
ample supplies of wine, he was soon one of us. “Find
me an English sentence that begins ‘in July' where you
emphasize July, and I’ll go down on you” and other
such wit kept us in stitches.
Recording
began on March 12, 1967 and ran until October 10, 1985, when
Mr. Welles died under mysterious circumstances...nowhere near
our recording studio...where he wasn’t at the time.
Mike Wyman was never charged.
From the over
2 months solid of raw recordings, we bring you this 3 minute
highlight.
