Too Much Johnson

Designed as the cinematic component of Orson Welles' Mercury Theatre stage presentation, this film accompanies William Gillette's 1894 comedy about a New York playboy who flees the violent husband of his mistress and assumes the identity of a Cuban plantation owner awaiting a mail-order bride. The footage was never shown during the production because the venue lacked projection facilities. Considered lost for decades, a workprint was discovered in 2008, leading to the film's premiere in 2013.
