Orson's Bag: London (1971)
"London" is an unfinished short film project by Orson Welles, developed between 1968 and 1971 as part of his abandoned CBS television special Orson’s Bag. Conceived as a series of satirical comedy sketches rather than a narrative film, the project consists of five vignettes—Churchill, Swinging London, Four Clubmen, Stately Homes, and Tailors—featuring Welles in multiple roles and performances by British comedians Tim Brooke-Taylor, Graeme Garden, and Bill Oddie. The project was never completed or released during Welles’s lifetime and survives only as unassembled production footage. (Note: The footage was later assembled posthumously by the Munich Film Museum into a reconstructed archival edit released in 1999 under the title "One Man Band.")
