Short description
Arrested for an unnamed crime, Josef K. is trapped in a surreal bureaucratic maze where justice is unknowable and guilt is assumed.
What's left behind the scenes
- Welles wanted Jackie Gleason to play the lawyer. He himself intended to play the role of a priest telling a parable.
- Orson Welles dubbed 11 voices in the film. He even dubbed some moments in Anthony Perkins' speech, which the latter was unable to detect.
- The film is based on Franz Kafka's novel 'The Trial' (Der Prozess, 1925), published posthumously.
- Orson Welles called 'The Trial' his best film.
- The scene in K.'s office was filmed at the Gare d'Orsay railway station.
- Alexander Alexeev and Claire Parker created the prologue and epilogue to the film using the 'needle screen' technique.
