Orson Welles also sleepwalks through as a narrator picking up a paycheck (Don Quixote wasn't going to pay for itself)... but no matter how much you like Welles or Sutherland, or even Wilder, if you get the chance to see it, run, don't walk, in the other direction. Truly awful, in SO many ways... /3

And its complete misunderstanding of the politics of the French Revolution...the whole scene where Wilder convinced Louis XVI to agree to democratic reforms...it's like...MODERATE satire. he DID THAT ACTUALLY, but as a stalling tactic while plotting with foreign kings
