A lost 1956 television pilot created by Orson Welles for a proposed documentary series. The filmed episode, “Camille, the Naked Lady and the Musketeers,” was a portrait of Alexandre Dumas constructed from narration, still images, and drawings. Shot in a single day and never broadcast, the pilot failed to secure a series commission, and the sole known copy is believed lost.
