The Mercury Wonder Show was a 1943 magic-and-variety stage show by the Mercury Theatre, produced by Orson Welles and Joseph Cotten, directed by Welles, and starring Welles, Cotten, Agnes Moorehead and Rita Hayworth (with Hayworth's part later filled in by Marlene Dietrich).
•
A section of the stage show — in which "Orson the Magnificent" performs tricks like sawing Marlene Dietrich in half — was filmed and included in the 1944 variety film Follow the Boys.
•
Jean Gabin also worked on the show backstage, as a propman.
