It seems Orson says "in July" at :52, well before the producer even mentions it. When the producer suggests it, Mr. Wells berates him. He must have been a joy to work with.

Orson's original ... ( 1 month ago by Gorboduc)

Orson's original version was a nonlinear multimedia extravaganza, recorded in seventeen European countries over the course of fifteen years, co-funded by the Lichenstein royal family and the Corsican mafia, and finally lost during the '68 Paris riots before being found (on magnetic tape) in a warehouse south of Dublin. Oja and Beatrice are still fighting over who owns it, but Bogdanovitch says it's a peach.

Told from an infinite number of perspectives, the ground-breaking commercial centers on the quest for the meaning of Jan Stengelen's last words: "IN July". Jan Stengelen is played by Akim Tamiroff and Mrs. Buckley by Jeanne Moreau, with Joseph Cotten in a non-speaking role - a first for radio.
For you trivia buffs, Gore Vidal tells us that "prairie-fed BEEF" was Hearst's nickname for the Jolly Green Giant's private parts.

Poor Orson, he really wanted to make the best out of everything he was ever involved in. There's not many like he was.

It was a long, hard crawl from "A toast,Jeduiah to love on my terms" to "crumb-crust coating", but that was the story of Welles. God bless him. R.J.

He was quite a genius but had an unfortunate career... Too bad I'll forever picture him eating frozen peas out of his beard instead of as Charles Foster Kane.

I've read up that he ended up in this and some minor movie/TV roles because he made enemies and lost friends on both sides during the McCarthy era.
