The production quality of this is atrocious which only adds to humor and the shorts are hilarious.
His Winston Churchill impersonation is spot on and walks the fine line between a lampoon and an accurate portrayal;too often do comedians go so far with 'comedy' that they lose all resemblance to who they are mocking.
The Tailors featuring Charles Gray is quite frankly absurd,and probably an over the top portrayal of Orson's experience with English tailors.
Stately Homes alternates between about 10-15 years as Orson interviews himself and is ridiculous and very deep at once. Orson the reporter and Orson the king are symbolic of how he saw himself (reporter) and the public's perception (king).
One Man Band is definetly the funniest, and for one scene only.
Orson dressed up as an old lady selling violets and 'nice filthy postcards 'on the side of the street is the funniest thing I have ever seen in my entire life. Just the thought has me laughing in stitches.
It's also sad Orson was reduced to this considering the depths of talent. But that's what he was a one man band, who led the show on his own performing anywhere he could. Playing past the chimes at midnight,down to the last note,the last tune. And though they weren't the best tunes,they where his.
