Return to Glennascaul

Return to Glennascaul, also known as Orson Welles Ghost Story, is a 1951 short film starring Orson Welles. It was written and directed by Hilton Edwards and produced by Michel MacLiammir for Dublin Gate Theatre Productions.

Welles playing himself, taking a break from the filming of Othello, is driving in the Irish countryside one night when he offers a ride to a man with car trouble. The man relates a strange event that happened to him at the same location. Two women flagged down his car one evening, asking for a ride back to their manor. They invited him in for a drink, and after leaving, he went back for his cigarette case. He found the manor deserted and decayed. In Dublin, a real estate broker told him the mother and daughter had died years ago. Welles, sufficiently spooked, drops the man off at his home and leaves in a hurry when the man asks him in for a cup of tea or something stronger as the ghostly women had earlier invited him into Glennascaul. As Welles drives off he passes two other stranded women who wave for a ride, flesh and blood women who recognize the famous actor behind the wheel.This film is onlyminutes long and is an extra on the recently released reissued DVD of Welles Othello. It was also released as Orson Welles Ghost Story. ........
