How could there have been only one copy of this film? Also, if there was only one copy, why wasn’t it in a film vault, and not Welles personal villa? My last question is what caused the fire that destroyed the last copy of this film? This is a terrible tragic loss for Orson Welles fans like myself. I would have loved to see some of his very early work.

Those are good questions. My question is if the film was never released and the only copy was destroyed in 1970, why have six people rated it? I suppose I could be a douchebag and be the 7th to give it a ranking but what would be the point. Unless a copy of this film exists, it probably shouldn't even have an IMDB page. It definitely shouldn't be accepting votes. I don't see IMDB pages for the home movies Emilio Estevez and Charlie Sheen made in high school... and they could probably show you copies of some of those. I'm sure it's worth noting that a young Orson Welles made a film called "Too Much Johnson". It's actually a pretty funny title. Perhaps a very small roomful of living people may have even seen this film several decades ago. But nobody has seen it in at least 36 years. It's probaby been a lot longer than that... unless somebody has a copy and is waiting for the right time to cash in
shareI don't know what either of you are talking about. I'm watching it (though I am not sure WHY I'm watching it) on TCM right now. This is definitely one of the more bizarre "films" I've ever seen. Why this is listed as a comedy, I have no idea. I haven't found anything about it remotely funny. It's just too weird. You certainly haven't missed anything by not having seen this.
EMOTICONS ARE BACK! YAY!
You're watching a restoration of a print that was found a couple of years ago and premiered in October 2013. Before that practically no person still alive had ever seen the film before. Those who rated the film prior to 2013 likely did solely on their feelings about Orson Welles and his work.
