Around The World With Orson Welles was a series of six short travelogues originally written and directed by Orson Welles for the BBC in 1955. Among the more notable episodes, Welles visited with Jean Cocteau and Juliette Gréco in Paris, attended a bullfight in Madrid and visited the Basque Country. One episode (Third Man Returns To Vienna) is considered lost. IMDB describes these as "somewhere between a home movie and a cinematic essay."
The several titles of the episodes are:
- St.-Germain-des-Prés
- Madrid Bullfight
- Chelsea Pensioners
- Pays Basque I (The Basque Countries)
- Pays Basque II (La Pelote basque)
- Third Man Returns to Vienna
