Finished by Jesus Franco and Patxi Irigoyen in 1992. (Orson Welles died in 1985).
In the 1950s, Orson Welles shot some scenes featuring himself as "Orson Welles, the film director" and then little girl 'Patricia McCormack' as a child named "Dulcie" (after Dulcinea), which will be introduced by Welles in the world of Don Quixote. These scenes aren't present in this Jesus Franco version.
According to Spanish film critic Juan Cobos, who had watched an early rough cut of the movie while Orson Welles was still filming material for it, this new version cut and reshaped by Jesus Franco doesn't resemble Welles' vision at all.
The film doesn't include all known footage of Don Quixote. There is footage being privately held in at least two collections in Europe.
In the unfinished doc, Filming the Trial, Orson Welles said that if Don Quixote was ever finished, he would have called it "When are you going to finish Don Quixote?"
Unlike other unfinished Orson Welles films, Don Quixote's incomplete state was not because of lack of finances. Welles always considered his Don Quixote a "private exercise". Or as he put it, he worked on it like an author works on a novel; under no obligations, no time constraints, and could finish it whenever he feels like it.
Orson Welles began filming this picture in 1955 and worked on it off and on over the years.

改编自卡夫卡的存在主义小说，以《触目惊心》(1960)成名的安东尼．柏坚斯饰演异境人物「K」，一朝醒来便发觉警察在旁，说他要接受审判，但无人告诉他干犯何罪。为了表示清白，K试图挑战司法制度，但悲剧人物始终逃不过卡夫卡式幽闭梦魇。影片卡士庞大，威尔斯依旧粉墨登场，还有法国 大美人珍．摩露，负责拍摄的是布纽尔的御用摄影师。影片以黑白菲林呈现超现实的封闭时空，威尔斯在影像实验中继续潇洒前行，从庞大的布景和众多的群众演员中，说明了他如何精心筹划出电影的无边国度。威尔斯自言这是他的最佳电影。

厌倦了逃亡生涯的匈牙利赝品画家艾米尔•德霍瑞（Elmyr de Hory）于1969年回到西班牙伊维萨岛，成为岛上名人，并结识了美国作家克利福德•艾尔文（Clifford Irving）。导演奥逊•威尔斯在介绍艾米尔•德霍瑞的同时穿插讲述了曾轰动一时的克利福德•艾尔文造假美国飞行业大亨霍华德•休斯自传案，随后又杜撰了女友欧嘉•蔻达（Oja Kodar）与毕加索之间的一段奇事。真假穿插中，奥逊•威尔斯提出了“艺术是什么”与作品归属权的问题。
本片是美国导演奥逊•威尔斯的最后一部完整的电影作品，大部分镜头素材来自由艾尔文•克利福德编剧，法国导演弗朗索瓦•莱兴巴赫（Francois Reichenbach）导演的关于匈牙利赝品画家艾米尔•德霍瑞的BBC纪录片。
