One Man Band (1999): reparto, argumento y streaming

Released in 1999, One Man Band is a comedia film directed by Orson Welles, running about 29 minutes.

What it’s about. One Man Band (1999) is a posthumous archival reconstruction created by the Munich Film Museum from unfinished footage shot by Orson Welles between 1968 and 1971. The film assembles five comic vignettes—Churchill, Swinging London, Four Clubmen, Stately Homes, and Tailors—originally produced for Welles’s abandoned television project Orson’s Bag. Edited into a 29-minute composite short for festival exhibition, the film represents a curatorial reconstruction rather than a completed work authored or released by Welles. (Note: This is a posthumous archival assembly. The original unfinished project exists separately under the working titles London / Swinging London and was never completed or released by Orson Welles.)

Who’s in it. One Man Band stars Orson Welles as Presenter / Various, Tim Brooke-Taylor as Reporter / Young Aristocrat, Charles Gray as Tailor and Jonathan Lynn as Tailor's Assistant, among others.

How it landed. With an audience score of 8.0/10, One Man Band sits among the best-reviewed titles in the catalogue.
