Orson Welles refuses to answer a question related to Elia Kazan
with the recent firings in film over people showing support to Palestine, this clip of Orson Welles tearing into Elia Kazan for selling out his peers and giving testimony before the House Committee on "Un-American Activities" in the industry in 1952 feels as relevant as ever pic.twitter.com/OanVNdt6OJ

Please fuck off, this has nothing to do with Palestine.
Videos cool, Welles was so theatrical at all times he’s always a joy to watch.
the Twitter comment framing it is a total non sequitur. The House committee on unamerican activities and the firing of people for comments both supporting Palestine and Israel by private parties is in no way similar.
Ahhhhh the French… journalists, have long been known for their excellence
A great moment from a life I assume was filled with them, at least his early career. 😕
His comment about Kazan’s directing was most impressive considering the abrasive context. Also, real classy imo. 🙂
