Thank you for honoring this exceptional human being named Orson Welles. I weep for Orson; he deserved so much more. Except for the financial difficulties that plagued him, he seemed to enjoy living the life he ensconced his world within. It was said he had developed a reputation for not finishing films, yet his life was dedicated to making them; they couldn't take his creativity from him. A self-described "contrarian," it is the contrarians that the system aways strives to keep down for some reason. Contrarians tend to be quite extraordinary in their chosen field, and maybe it's that simple: the Powers That Be recognize the ones whose ways are so far outside the box that they are viewed as a threat because they are superior - the alpha male thing and all that. I am grateful he had Oja with him for the last years of his life; you can see the joy and love in her facial expressions as she recalls their life spent together and the fun they had; her memories are intact as she kindly shares them with us. Orson's God-given talent was matched by none; his films that were published are profound; I wish he were alive today. Orson Welles must not be forgotten.

Welles was a master of drama, tragedy, and intensity. A truly great Actor, Director and ARTEst❗💎

this was fantastic. the humour depicted in many of the clips was a quite unexpected pleasure. and its often overlooked just how good of an actor he was. in one interview I remember of his he said one of his greatest regrets was spending his life in an unending search for financing for his films. thanks for the upload.

After The Magnificent Ambersons and his Hollywood career were destroyed, he had a self-destructive malaise that he could never overcome. I think that William Randolph Hearst and his paid cronies and thugs destroyed Ambersons and Welles, ruining the psyche of a genius.

@@marlbrouk Woah , it's reallly out there. Fast paced at the start and I must admit I'm trying to make sense of what's happening. The concept of shooting a film within a film is definitely a Orson idea that you can appreciate but I can see many who would find overwhelming John Huston is a delight, and as a male I enjoyed the Oja Kodar nudity ;-) This is something a Welles fan or students of film can really sink their teeth into, but many viewers might get lost. I admit I did at times but catching one more Orson film , 33 years after the genius left us, was worth it.

If--at the time--a rich guy gave Orson $20 million dollars and free creativity to either finish up one of his films or do something new, do you think he could produce a complete film? And would it be great? I'd like to think so. btw thanks for the upload.

In his 1970s book THE GREAT MOVIES, William F Bayer asked whether any contemporary studio would put up the money if Welles said he could make another film of CITIZEN KANE stature

Perhaps, but he was largely self made simply because he was brilliant and talented, his work and the bizarre style in which he marketed both his work and himself made him great.

"The Deep" was eventually made as "Dead Calm", tho' that movie only has three characters, none corresponding to the one Welles played. I'm sure this could be completed with motion capture, but who would go to the trouble?
