Filming Monsieur Verdoux : 1.


* Monsieur Verdoux, 1947

The idea was originally suggested by Orson Welles, as a project for a dramatised documentary on the career of the legendary French murder Henri Désiré Landru - who was executed in 1922, having murdered at least ten women, two dogs and one boy.

Chaplin was so intrigued by the idea that he paid Welles $5000 for it, with the agreement that the film would carry the credit “Based on an idea by Orson Welles”.

In later years Welles claimed that he had himself written a script for the film, but this is unlikely - certainly the written agreement between Chaplin and Welles makes no mention of it.
