ERATTA:

I am frequently bored and according to my girlfriend: frequently boring.

The Welles narration is actually from a youtube series of clips I found of an unreleased unfinished film that Orson was trying to make with the crews left over from commercial and t.v. shoots. It was to be a film version of his staged reading of King Lear that tuns into a staged reading of Moby Dick. The gimmick was that the actors are in London rehearsing Lear when someone brings in the freshly printed first edition of Moby Dick (so I guess the setting was London in 18 water it was that Moby DIck was published). I was looking for Orson’s sermon from the Houston film, but because of copywright or whatever it was not posted. In that search, however I sumbled on the Moby Dick reading AND the famous drunken Paul Mason champagne add. In Orson’s defence. He contracted to shoot all the year’s spots in a single day. I think the clip board says they are on take 108. You figure that’s a lot of sips of wine. In the end they used the visuals and he re looped the dialogue in a more sober condition.
