About
A standalone archival recording of Orson Welles performing Shylock’s “Hath not a Jew eyes” monologue, filmed independently in the early 1970s and unrelated to the 1969 Merchant of Venice production. Preserved as 16mm rushes at La Cinémathèque Française and restored in 4K in 2025, the footage documents an isolated performance rather than a narrative film project. (Note: Separate filming event; not footage from the 1969 TV adaptation.)
