Who is Nina Palinkas?

Roger: I don't have that book, so... do you think we'd get in trouble if that original interview was posted here? ???

Given its length and recent vintage, I would say it would be both impractical and a copyright infringement to post the interview in its entirety.

Basically, the article posted above simply strung together facts discussed in more detail by Kodar and threw in a few tidbits researched by other authors who contributed to the "Unknown Welles" book. Each of the events and projects mentioned could easily be given its own thread on this site.

Tony,

You might be able to order a copy of the book, THE UNKNOWN ORSON WELLES, directly from the Munich Filmmuseum. It contains a lot of interesting material and articles in addition to the interview with Oja Kodar. To find out if any copies are still available, you could e-mail the book's editor and curator of the Orson Welles collection, Stefan Droessler at stefan.droessler@muenchen.de

Thanks, Christopher. :;):

That festival book is listed commercially at Amazon.de, I believe. It is also available in the "marketplace" or independent seller areas there and at other EU Amazon sites, which might have better deals (or not).

Maestro D. Tash:

I checked that web-site, and it's listed under German books, not English books; do you know if there was just one bilingual edition, or are there monolingual editions?

[Tashman]

There's only one ISBN as far as I know, and the book was designed for the Welles conference, so I'd assume there's just the one edition. (The German publisher may qualify this as a German book in Amazon's categories.) But that's just a guess.

Caveat overseas emptor.

[Tony]

Thanks :;):

Tony,

THE UNKNOWN ORSON WELLES book has several articles in German and one in French, which may be why it's listed under "German books."

[Roger Ryan]

True, but there are a number of articles in English as well including the Kodar interview.
