These are some original takes for the legendary Orson Welles “We Will Sell No Wine Before Its Time” commercial, and show that working with the legendary Mr. Welles could be…memorable.
Turn camera or 102 take one with over that action fees just do anything no it’s okay why don’t you take two Father French Champagne has always been celebrated for its excellence there is a California champagne back parmesan inspired by that same French excellence its fermented the bottle don’t like the best French Champagne
It’s vintage dated sound form a song why don’t you take three action please the French Champagne has always been celebrated for its excellence there is a California champagne by Palmer song inspired by that same French excellence it’s fermented in the bottle and like the best French Champagne it’s vintage dated so karma songs

The story behind this is so depressing
It means that if nothing else someone had a good laugh at his expense.
Painful to watch. Yet I keep watching it.
Mundane commercial + qualudes = comedy gold
Unicron really let himself go
man what the heck r.v. pine
0:55 my sides😅😂
0:55
With wine that good you don't spit it out between takes you drink every glass
Raymond Burr got to look like OW.
must be a fine wine – he got BLITZED
A drunk Orson Welles would be a better president than biden😂
This only gets more hilarious the more you watch it.
the fact that the other actors and crew didn't burst out laughing is commendable
I never saw this commercial, but I heard this line somewhere before…
We didn't deserve Orson Welles and he knew it.
Orson's greatest movie.
It's so short and so hilarious yet so hard to watch
Its inspired by that same french sexcellence 😂
MUAAAAH, the French!
A true Master at work
My favorite part is the lady trying her hardest not to laugh lmao
Frozen peas
mmmaaahhaaaaa the french
Absolutely top class professionalism from the other actors for maintaining a straight face throughout 👍
The final product actually turned out pretty good.
What a beautiful voice he had
The 'Citizen Kane' of champagne commercials!
If only he could make it disappear
Honestly, I would've assumed that they would do something with the bottle like pop the cork or something before the dialogue starts too. Very bland shot with no action otherwise. I mean, what are the other two even in the shot for? If they don't do anything it would be more impactful for Orson to be alone and address the camera directly as if talking to the audience. If advertising aims for the aspirational, you don't want to tell the audience that if they buy Masson champagne they, too, can be as bland and lifeless as this boring couple. The dude's even poised specifically in the "I'm about to pop this cork" pose and instead he does nothing.
:Oh what luck! some white wine stuck in my beard!"
We've all been there
Here is a challenge: try repeating the same sentence twice word for word next time you are sloshed. Welles could do it.
Greatest thing ever recorded
Thank you Unicron very cool
AAAAAAHHHHHHH the French champagne
What in the heck is he promoting?!?! This is nuts AND hilarious at the same time! Are we sure he didn’t do some sampling of that wine before cameras started, though?
Orson Welles: They fired me saying I was getting too fat.
The Outtakes:
Drunk, yet still sounds more interesting than most sober people.
