About this product

Product Information

These two films highlight Orson Welles' talent for both acting and directing. The Italian epic version of the classic biblical tale DAVID AND GOLIATH features Orson Welles as King Saul. A young man quests to defeat the evil tyranny of a giant Philistine bent on becoming the one and only power. He believes the power of God and the love of a beautiful princess will help him conquer whatever odds are against him. Welles directed and stars in the second film in this release. A tense black-and-white thriller, THE STRANGER finds Welles portraying Charles Rankin, a respected academic at a prominent Connecticut college. His seemingly perfect life is shattered with the arrival of Mr. Wilson (Edward G. Robinson), a detective on the hunt for Nazi war criminal Franz Kindler. The appearance of Mr. Wilson threatens to reveal that underneath this idyllic veneer is a secret that could tear everything apart.Although many of Welles's most interesting scenes wound up on the cutting-room floor when producer Sam Speagle reedited the film, THE STRANGER is still a multilayered, complex, and fascinating film. The scenes between Welles and Robinson are intellectually gripping, leading up to the stylized, shocking conclusion. As with so many of Welles's films, he was unhappy with the final result, but this version of THE STRANGER is considered by many to be a marvel of cinematic wonder.
