Orson Welles, still dressed as Benjamin Franklin in the film "La Fayette". Only missing are a cap and hair down to the shoulders, to make him look bald on top. Studios de la Victorine in Nice 1961.
At the Studios de la Victorine in Nice, 1961, Orson Welles smokes a thick cigar during a break from filming "La Fayette." He is still in costume as Benjamin Franklin, wearing a dark overcoat, breeches, and light-colored, knee-high socks, though missing the cap and wig required for the role. He stands in conversation on unpaved ground, with a weathered building wall behind him bearing a sign suggesting a fire station ("Poste de Sapeurs-Pompiers"). A vintage motorcycle is parked nearby.
