Proof that Orson Welles was a genius (as if that was ever in doubt)

The following is a clip from his unfinished Don Quixote movie (a cursed project that has defied filmmakers for years; see Terry Gilliam's Lost in La Mancha for further proof). A silent picture that takes Sancho Panza and Don Quixote into modern times. This clip is absolutely wonderful, and full of meaty discussion topics.

NOTE: A Welles biographer gives the intro for about three or four minutes.
