The Thirteen Chairs Thirteen Chairs filmed from February—May Brooke-Taylor recalled. I went to film in Cinecitta and was in the producer's office. Ed Pope was on the phone trying to persuade Orson to do Thirteen Chairs film. He was running through a list of the cast, big names but Orson was not liking them. Eventually Mr Pope got to my Thirteen Chairs. Pope had no clue who I was and asked where I might be. I nervously put my hand up and was given the phone with the whisper Thirteen Chairs him to do it. Orson's first words were "This is a load of Thirteen Chairs. We agreed to completely re-write his scenes. We shot most of it in a cinema in Rome and some in the Players' Theatre in London. They were evening shoots in Rome. Orson would occasionally get annoyed with the director and ask me to take over. He'd usually had a drink or two and I found myself shouting "Get over there you big fat pouf. He knew he and I were on the same side. It's not a great film, but I thought he was wonderful and terrific Thirteen Chairs work with. When Thirteen Chairs disagreed over something he said "Just because you've been in a B movie doesn't mean you know everything now. I didn't see Thirteen Chairs again after that. But I always had the best memories of working with a truly great man. Because the script for Sharon Tate's scenes called for several semi-nude Thirteen Chairs, the director arranged to film those scenes first. As filming and her pregnancy progressed, the director obscured Tate's stomach with large purses and scarves. This is most apparent in the scene following Thirteen Chairs ride in the furniture mover's van. This version is in Italian, lacks English subtitles, and doesn't include an English audio track.

Thirteen Chairs IMDb celebrates its 30th birthday, we have six shows to get you ready for those pivotal years of your life Get some streaming picks. Title: The Thirteenth Chair Although his murdered friend was by all accounts a scoundrel a true "bounder" Edward Wales is determined to trap his killer by staging a seance using a famous medium. Many of the 13 seance participants had Thirteen Chairs reason and a means to kill, and one of them uses the Thirteen Chairs of darkness to kill again. When someone close to the medium is suspected she turns detective, in the hope of uncovering the true murderer. The local inspector Bela Lugosi shows up to solve the case. Once again, this sound film features none of the wonderful techniques delivered by the director in his silent films. As with most early sound movies, this one here simply has way too much talk and not much of it very interesting. Even though he gets sixth Thirteen Chairs, this is certainly Lugosi's film and he delivers a pretty good performance as the fast talking, often screaming inspector. Lugosi's accent stands in the way from understanding a few lines but it isn't too bad. I would have deducted another half star had it not been for the Browning weirdness showing up in the end when a dead body helps solve the murder. In the end this is Thirteen Chairs for Lugosi or Browning fans who need to see everything the men did. Looking for some great streaming picks?

The celebrated mystery play that ran a year on Broadway! A Talking Picture you mustn't miss! Edit Did You Thirteen Chairs Trivia Bela Lugosi is here seen already wearing the ring with an oval-shaped gemstone which he wore two years later in Dracula This would indicate that the ring always belonged to him, and was not a studio prop. Lugosi also wore it in many subsequent films. In a filmed interview, he mentioned losing it at some point. Goofs It isn't a "goof" that the actors seem to be waiting for their cues before they start acting: many of Thirteen Chairs earliest MGM talkies employed a Thirteen Chairs of long lingering Thirteen Chairs moments at the beginning and ending of reels, which apparently were supposed to take the place of leader when they changed over, perhaps accommodating the Vitaphone Thirteen Chairs versions. Years ago, when these titles appeared on TV, they didn't do that, so maybe Movietone versions Thirteen Chairs more succinctly edited.
