Twelfth Night

Twelfth Night is a 1933 American Pre-Code short color film, notable as the very earliest surviving film directed by Orson Welles, then aged 17. It is a recording of the dress rehearsal of Welles’s own abridged production at his alma mater, the Todd School for Boys, where he had returned to direct this adaptation of Shakespeare’s Twelfth Night for the Chicago Drama Festival in 1933.
