about

Orson Welles discovers via the radio that his marriage to Rita Hayworth has ended, as a song plays that seems to describe his situation a little too well.

lyrics

Ladies and gentlemen, we interrupt our program to bring you a special bulletin from the Celebrity Radio News. At 28 minutes before 8 central time, actress Rita Hayworth divorced her husband of four years, filmmaker Orson Welles. The starlet claims that Welles intense passion for his films leaves no room for her in his life. We now return you to the music of Teddy Grey on WNOE, as sponsored by Findus Frozen Peas.

WNOE at night

You can write about Falstaff and the midnight chimes
You can write about the Ambersons great decline
And play God
But you can’t write our love

You can act in Shakespearean tragedies
You can act your way through adverts for frozen peas
To raise funds
But you can’t act your way through our love

Great films take caution and care, but they’re a cinch compared to real life
Where the set pieces can’t be moved on a whim, and the lines are improvised
I’m yet another project of yours that failed when you refused to compromise

You can fake a love for wine from Paul Masson
You can fake sobriety when the camera’s on
Thank God
But you can’t fake our love

Choose an ending, dear Husband
Rosebud
