Ed Wood

I'd had this film on DVD for ages but hadn't watched it, so I didn't know whereabouts in the film Vincent's scene was. I was on tenterhooks all the way through waiting for him to appear. I knew about the dubbing, and it was the only fault I could find with the film. It was funny and touching. Martin Landau's performance as Bela Lugosi was superb.

All it needs is for Tim Burton to go back and re-edit the film to include Vincent dubbing himself in his best Wellesian voice, as he has now had the chance to develop that part of his performance.

We''l all buy the film again, Tim!

    Well,I know I'd buy it again if Tim put V's voice on it...but then I'm planning on putting myself through FMJ again just for the odd snippet of V on the commentary :-D

    I might consider it if his voice was restored, but overall, I thought this movie was dullsville.

    Vincent's mannerisms, facial expressions, and speech patterns were DEAD ON Orson Welles! 'Twas an excellent performance, even if his voice was mixed with another actor's. For any North Americans here, they do run this once in a while on channcels like Independent Film Channel or Sundance.

    This movie (except for Vincent's part) was like the movies the films' namesake made: really bad.

    And now I can't forget Johnny Depp dressed as a woman.

    I agree. He is Orson Wells.
