	Actors - Othello

One of Orson Welles' more complicated shoots, Othello was filmed on and off over a period of three years. Shooting began in 1949 but was forced to shut down when money for the production ran out. Welles used the money from his acting jobs like The Third Man (1949) to finance the film.

This lenghty and complicated shoot is detailed in Micháel MacLiammór's book Put Money in Thy Purse.

The film was released in Europe to great praise in 1952, winning the Palme D'Or at the Cannes Film Festival, though it was largely ignored in America. It was restored in 1991, with its soundtrack rebuilt in stereo sound (the dialogue was largely the same, though re-mastered, but the score was newly recorded in stereo). This version was shown to great acclaim in the United States, and first appeared on cable television in 1995.
