Book Presentation:
Irish actor Micheal MacLiammoir (who plays Iago in the film) recounts the day-by-day filming of Orson Welles' Othello. It was Welles himself who, out of curiosity, insisted that the book be published. He did not know its contents a priori since the actor kept his diary locked away.
First edition: Editions Eyure Methuen, 1952
Second edition: Editions Eyre Methuen, 1976
Third edition: Editions Colombus, 1988
Fourth edition: Editions Virgin, 1994.
Book Presentation:
The author first met Orson Welles in Dublin's Gate Theatre during the late 1930s, and established a long and stormy relationship with him. When the film of "Othello" was planned by Welles, the author was hired as Iago. This book is an account of the travails attendant on the production, which constantly ran out of money, and is also an acerbic and witty assessment of Welles himself.
