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.

Orson Welles is captured mid-stride at the Studios de la Victorine in Nice, 1961. Still dressed as Benjamin Franklin for the film "La Fayette," he wears a dark overcoat over knee-length breeches and light-colored stockings. The costume is nearly complete, missing only a cap and the long hair required for the role. Seen in profile against a weathered wall, the actor holds a cigarette in his right hand as he emerges from a doorway.
