Orson Welles – fried - Paul Masson wine commercial

[Harvey Chartrand]

A video of a totally wasted Orson Welles struggling through a series of takes for a Paul Masson wine commercial are on view at http://www.viceland.com/issues/v9n4/htdocs/touching.php
John Gielgud was waiting in the wings.

I think this was posted ages ago, but it's worth a look for those who haven't seen it. Why they were even bothering to film with Welles in that state beats me. Also check out the other clips on that page, which are pretty amusing as well. "Winnebago Man" is classic.
