Welles wanted to work with Garbo

[Harvey Chartrand]

Does anyone out there in Wellesland have any more information on this?

THE LOVE OF D'ANNUNZIO AND DUSE (1952)
Orson Welles wrote this screenplay for Greta Garbo and Charlie Chaplin.

Welles, who also wanted to direct the film, described the project as a story about two crazy monsters in degenerate hyper-romanticism, with a ridiculous and theatrical passion.

Neither Chaplin or Garbo wanted to do it.
