Othello - The Lost Masterpiece (1952)

Critics Consensus: This ragged take on Othello may take liberties with the source material, but Orson Welles' genius never fails to impress.

Synopsis: Long believed lost, this is the newly restored masterpiece of Orson Welles' 1952 classic based on the famous William Shakespeare play. Also includes a special introduction by his daughter Beatrice Welles-Smith.

Starring: Orson Welles, Micheal MacLiammoir, Suzanne Cloutier

Directed By: Orson Welles

Othello has been filmed numerous times, but never with such extraordinary visual grace and power.
