Orson Welles embodies the role of Benjamin Franklin on the set of the film "La Fayette" at the Studios de la Victorine in Nice, 1961. In this behind-the-scenes photograph, Welles—a portly figure with long white hair flowing from under a tricorn hat—is surrounded by fellow actors in 18th-century attire. Gathered in a wood-paneled room, the artifice of the production is subtly revealed by a lighting rig overhead and the out-of-focus backs of crew members in modern clothing who frame the shot.
