As part of the grand opening of their swanky new Elinor Bunin Munroe Film Center, The Film Society of Lincoln Center hosted a whole weekend of cool free events. On Friday Night, I went to Merv Bloch's Trailer Show, in which Bloch, a veteran of decades in the movie marketing game, shared stories and clips from his lengthy career. Early in the night, Bloch mentioned that his company had designed the logo for "Star Trek: The Motion Picture," and that as part of that film's campaign he got to direct Orson Welles narrating its teaser trailer. At the end of the evening, someone asked Bloch if he had any stories about directing Welles, who could be a feisty presence in a sound booth if he wanted to be.
Bloch had a story. And it was a doozy.
To set the stage, here's the teaser trailer that Bloch made with Welles.
