Audiences will be lining up to see the premiere of a new movie from one of film’s greatest directors this October – 75 years after it was made.

Discovered last week in an abandoned shipping company warehouse in Pordenone, Italy, the long-lost film “Too Much Johnson” was the last movie Orson Welles’ directed prior to making "Citizen Kane" in 1941.

“Johnson” is one of Welles’ first-known professional films.

Fantastic. It is always amazing and wonderful when something like this - a long lost film, painting, etc. - pops up. As a Welles' aside. I think the best entrance by a male character in a movie ever, is Well's entrance - tucked in a doorway, under a blinking light that shows than obscures him - in "The Third Man."
