All Characters. Sunday Night Movie: Macbeth(1948) | Robert Mitchell Evans. Before Citizen Kane, and before the Mercury Theater’s radio production of War Of The Worlds, Orson Welles was the wonderkid for his stage productions. He gained fame and notoriety for fresh and inventive productions of classic theater. Most notably among these was his production of Macbeth. Using an all black cast he staged Macbeth on a Jamaican plantation with a cast that was inexperienced on the stage. The production was a smash hit, propelling the young Welles on his way to stardom. After the trouble Welles found with the studio system and his bruising combat with William Randolph Hurst over Welles’ first film, Citizen Kane, perhaps it was natural that Welles returned to Shakespeare looking for his cinematic redemption.
The version I watched last night is a version that Republic did not release. Working with a limited budget and severe time and production constraints forced Welles to make a film version of Macbeth that is a curious hybrid of film and theater magic. Malcom.
