Too Much Johnson is a 1938 comedy film written and directed by Orson
Welles. The film was made three years before Welles directed Citizen
Kane, but it was never publicly screened. The film was believed to be
lost, but a print was re- discovered in 2013 in an Italian warehouse.
The film is scheduled to be released in October 2013 and will be avail-
able online as well.
The film was not intended to stand by itself, but was designed as the
cinematic aspect of Welles's Mercury Theatre stage presentation of
William Gillette's 1894 comedy about a New York playboy who flees from
the violent husband of his mistress and borrows the identity of a
plantation owner in Cuba who is expecting the arrival of a mail order
bride.
Welles planned to mix live action and film for this production. The
film was designed to run 40 minutes, with 20 minutes devoted to the
play's prologue and two 10-minute introductions for the second and
third act. Welles planned to create a silent film in the tradition of
the Mack Sennett slapstick comedies, in order to enhance the various
chases, duels and comic conflicts of the Gillette play.
This was not the first time that Welles directed a film. In 1934,
while still attending The Todd School for Boys, he co-directed (with
friend William Vance) a short avant garde film called The Hearts of
Age.Welles never completed the editing of Too Much Johnson and put the
footage in storage. He rediscovered the footage three decades later
at his home outside of Madrid, Spain. "I can't remember whether I had
it all along and dug it out of the bottom of a trunk, or whether some-
one brought it to me, but there it was", he later recalled. "I
screened it, and it was in perfect condition, with not a scratch on
it, as though it had only been through a projector once or twice be-
fore. It had a fine quality. Cotten was magnificent, and I immediately
made plans to edit it and send it to Joe as a birthday present."
Welles, however, never allowed the footage to be seen publicly,
stating the film would not make sense outside of the full context of
the Gillette play.
In 1971, a fire broke out at Welles's home and the only known com-
plete print of Too Much Johnson was destroyed.
A copy was discovered in Italy in 2013 and restored by George Eastman House.

Cool find! He's probably just happy to be giving himself a rich man's estate. I'm sure I remember a photo of him at the pool sticking his tongue way out (ew) at the camera but I haven't seen it on the Internet in years.

Zimmerman emerges to help family escape overturned car in Sanford, Fla.
Police say George Zimmerman helped rescue a family trapped in an overturned ve-
hicle off a Florida highway last week, Zimmerman's first known public sighting
since his acquittal in the shooting death of Trayvon Martin.The incident occurred on July 17 in Sanford, Fla., near the intersection of In-
terstate 4 and State Road 46, officials confirmed to NBC News. The rescue was
first reported by ABC News.Zimmerman and another man were assisting a family of four when officers with
the Seminole County Sheriff's Office arrived on the scene of the accident. A
blue Ford Explorer had traveled off the road and rolled over, according to offi-
cials.Zimmerman and the other man were helping the two children and their parents get
out of the overturned vehicle, the Seminole County Sheriff’s Office said. The
former neighborhood watch volunteer left the scene after making contact with po-
lice and did not witness the crash.There were no injuries to any of the vehicle’s occupants, according to police.
A Seminole County jury found Zimmerman not guilty July 13 in the death of 17-
year-old Martin. Zimmerman said he shot Martin in self-defense on Feb. 26, 2012.Since then, Zimmerman’s family has said the 29-year-old was in hiding and had
received death threats. Zimmerman’s parents said in an interview that they don’t
even know where their son is hiding.The verdict has prompted rallies and protests. Protests in Los Angeles and Oak-
land, Calif., turned violent as demonstrators called for an overhaul of the jus-
tice system and repeal of Florida’s “Stand Your Ground” self-defense law.

1932 presidential election — Franklin D. Roosevelt
In 1936, African-Americans were added to the coalition (African-Americans had
previously been denied the vote or voted Republican). For instance, Pittsburgh,
which was a Republican stronghold from the Civil War up to this point, suddenly
became a Democratic stronghold, and has elected a Democratic mayor to office in
every election since this time.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Realigning_election#Realigning_elections_in_United_States_historyFor political scientists, 1964 was primarily an issue-based realignment. The
classic study of the 1964 election, by Carmines and Stimson (1989), shows how the
polarization of activists and elites on race-related issues sent clear signals to
the general public about the historic change in each party's position on Civil
Rights. Notably, while only 50% of African-Americans self-identified as Democrats
in the 1960 National Election Study, 82% did in 1964, and the numbers are higher
in the 21st century. The clearest indicator of the importance of this election,
was that Deep Southern states, such as Mississippi, voted Republican in 1964. In
contrast, much of the traditional Republican strongholds of the Northeast and
Upper Midwest voted Democratic. Vermont and Maine, which stood alone voting
against FDR in 1936, voted for LBJ in 1964.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Realigning_election#Possible_modern_realigning_elections_in_the_United_StatesThe South, which had started to vote increasingly Republican beginning in the
1930s, continued that trend, becoming the stronghold of the Republican party by
the 1990s.[32] Political scientists Richard Johnston and Byron Schafer have ar-
gued that this development was based more on economics than on race.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Civil_Rights_Act_of_1964#Political_repercussions1964 - the inspiration
In 1964, Barry Goldwater accomplished a task that, until then, had been seen as
physically impossible -- he won five states in the Deep South for the Republican
Party, which had been seen for the past hundred years as the party of Abraham
Lincoln and the defeat of the Confederacy. He was able to do this because of his
voting record against civil rights legislation versus the incumbent, Lyndon John-
son, who was in favor of civil rights. The South had, until that point, been a
solidly Democratic voting bloc, often called the "Solid South." Nixon, taking
note of this, campaigned on subtle race and states rights themes in 1968 and 1972
in an attempt to keep the Deep South in the Republican column.
That white Southerners could be persuaded to vote Republican in presidential
races by the 1960s is attributable to the greater power of race than class by
that time. For the first half of the 20th century, white Protestant voters in the
South tended to be quite populist on economic issues, forming an important part
of the "New Deal coalition" and supporting government infrastructure projects
like the Tennessee Valley Authority. However, they were quite conservative on
race and other social issues. For decades, class was more important than race be-
cause of the greater poverty in the South, but with growing affluence after World
War II, race began to be more important than class. The Civil Rights Movement
that began in the 1950s and gained momentum in the 1960s put race in sharper per-
spective, while other cultural changes in the 1960s (the sexual revolution, the
counterculture, the New Left) also drove white religious conservatives away from
the Democratic Party.
