Subject:  War of the Worlds chat

   With all the discussion about the Orson Welles version of "The War of the
Worlds", I'm wondering about Welles' treatment of the radio production in his
last major film, the 1974 release "F for Fake".

   The movie is a meditation on forgery and fakery, starting with art forger
Elmyr de Hory, moving on to Clifford Irving's fake Howard Hughes
autobiography, and stopping to discuss Welles' own radio production of "The
War of the Worlds" and how it convinced some listerners that the martians
really were coming. But when the movie plays audio clips of the broadcast,
it's clear (at least to me) that they are not genuine. Instead, they sound
like new audio, fed through a filter to mimic an old recording. The clips
depict radio news bulletins about flying saucers and martians, but use words
that are different from anything I remember of the original production. At
one point "President Roosevelt" is mentioned, and I'm pretty sure the
original broadcast did not mention the president by name.

    I doubt that Welles lacked access to audio of his own radio show. One
shot in "F for Fake" even features the album cover of the Audio Rarities LP
release of the broadcast. My first guess is that Welles, or his backers, may
have felt that they didn't want to pay copyright royalties on a recording for
which Welles did not own the rights. But it seems unusual that Welles --- or
his backers --- would refuse to pay for such a crucial component of the
movie. And I suspect the Mercury Theater "War of the Worlds" broadcast may
have fallen into the public domain by the 1970s. It was certainly being
widely rebroadcast at the time.

    If money or access to the original audio was not an issue, perhaps the
fake audio was used as a joke. The Wikipedia entry on "F for Fake" lists
three "Hoaxes within the movie" --- for instance, during a sequence of
newsreel footage of Howard Hughes, one of the shots actually features old
footage of actor Don Ameche. Perhaps presenting a forgery of his own radio
broadcast was Welles' idea of another hoax within the movie. But I certainly
can't be sure.

   If you'd like to hear the audio in question, go to YouTube, where "F for
Fake" is available in installments. The fake audio clips of the "War of the
Worlds" radio broadcast appear in Part Five.

Subject:  Was Candy packin' heat?

I've been waiting for anyone else to answer Kenneth Clarke's inquiry
about whether or not Candy Matson toted a gun. But since no one else
responded, I [removed]

The answer is: Yes, but not always.

We only have 14 audio copies of that great series, and in only two of
them does she produce a handgun and shows that she knows how to use
it.  Apparently this was not customary since in most of the other
programs, even when a weapon would have been helpful, she does not
display one ([removed] in "the Egyptian Amulet" she and Rembrandt tackle
the bad guy instead of confronting him with her pistol.)

As for the other 80 shows, they're represented only by original
scripts in Thousand Oaks Library.  When we reviewed all the scripts
there, neither Stewart Wright nor I paid any attention to whether or
not Candy pulled her gun. Our examination of them was limited to a
cursory reading to produce an accurate summary and come up with a
logical title. Except for the first two episodes, none of the other
scripts contain a title, so Stewart and I "took care of that." While
these were strictly "unofficial" titles, they've generally been
accepted by the OTR community and can be found on several web sites,
including the logs posted by Jerry Haendiges.
