About this title: Innovative film and theater director, radio producer, actor, writer, painter, narrator, and magician, Orson Welles (19151985) was the last true Renaissance man of the twentieth century.

"Through interviews conducted over a significant period of time, Welles emerges as a real person: eccentric, difficult, intelligent, always interesting. While it's true that he cannot be trusted with every fact, I believe this book gives us a portrait of the man whose reputation has been bandied about his entire life and beyond."
"So far: Welles is clinically mad genius with no perspective, Bogdanovich is savant genius without boundaries, and that either qualifies as brilliant dinner guest (that is, if we're doing the "living or dead" dinner party).
The Da Capo Press reprint/scan (isbn-13: 978-0-306-80834-0 or isbn-10: 0-306-80834-x $24.00) has unforgivably poor images/photos/stills. I don't know if all editions have this problem (although one can search the films themselves for certain scenes), but I found this particularly shoddy publishing. I'd recommend searching for an older edition--perhaps better quality. I am truly sorry I requested this readily available edition for purchase from my local library--I feel like I wasted public money."
"Orson Welles was a magician more than anything else. It was the one thing that allowed him to make the films he made, to create the roles he acted in, and to endure the undeserved attacks on his personality and abilities. He gives it to you straight, with a counter-intuitive tact from Bogdanovich."
