Description:
"The Fountain of Youth" is a darkly humorous story about vanity and longing. A newly married couple's relationship unravels when they find a potion offering eternal youth and beauty—but enough for only one of them. As desire and bitterness build, the gift triggers a breakdown of their morals and emotions. Written, directed, and narrated by Orson Welles, and adapted from John Collier’s story "Youth from Vienna," the film uses distinctive narration and innovative visuals to explore human vanity in a concise way. Originally a 1956 television pilot, it was broadcast once in 1958 and later gained recognition as a significant work of independent cinema, receiving a 1958 Peabody Award.
