Orson Welles Movie Night - part 4

Much excitement in our house! Jess ordered the Orson Welles version of 'Jane Eyre' from the states 2 weeks ago and it finally came today. We had to watch it right away.

It was highly dramatic (or would have been in the '40s - actually very funny today!) and Orson was on fine form. Apart from, it has to be said, looking a little bit odd (I'm convinced they remodeled his nose for the film) his costumes were outstanding and our hearts fluttered every time he started moodily off into the distance in his silk dressing gown or when the wind ruffled his hair and blew his cape about.... ;o) Ahhhh.

So now we've had 'Citizen Kane', 'The Third Man', 'The Lady from Shanghai' and 'Jane Eyre', we're running out of films of him being all gorgeous and commanding!
Any suggestions warmly welcomed.
