Harry Cohn hated Orson Welles and the public did not want to see Rita like this look film only received critical Acclaim 40 years after it was released it is recognized today as a masterpiece but at the time everybody thought it was garbage

So many of his films were not highly thought of when Orson was alive but are now considered masterpieces Touch Of Evil another one. I think The Magnificent Ambersons is great

A fantastic Noir! Maybe it's just me, but it seems the viewer has to have a degree in reverse engineering to dissect the labyrinth of deceits being played out under the radar....which makes it all the more riveting. I keep hoping that the excised footage will one day be unearthed in some long-forgotten studio warehouse, and from it a reconstruction depicting the film's original version will take place.

Journey into Fear is one of my favorite stories. I didn't know Welles made a film of that. I don't have the eye of Bogdanovich, so I may try to find it. In the same vein I love what he did with The Third Man. Just for fun it would be interesting to see how a studio today would make a movie based on those books. Lots of German SMGs and incredible stunts aboard the tramp steamer or in an amusement park in post-war Vienna.

Famous Harry Cohn quote: “I have a foolproof device for judging whether a picture is good or bad. If my fanny squirms, it's bad. If my fanny doesn't squirm, it's good.”

My impression is the script was kinda made up on the spot. The opening is eye-rollingly bad, with the unbelievable premise and bad Irish accent. But it gradually builds fascination, especially kicking on from the court room scene. Surprised Bogdanovich doesn't rave about Rita Hayworth's close ups - wow. And not just a pin-up.

I love how, when talking about the relationship between him and Rita, she's to blame for everything and Welles faults, including his cheating on her never comes up. Not a balanced interviewee. I wonder what else he doesn't know.

I saw the movie for the first time today on a streaming service. I love Orson Welles and Rita Hayworth was beautiful. What the plot was a little cumbersome and more confusing than it needed to be. Although I love the funhouse mirror segments. And if it ever really explained why Rita Hayworth character ended up with the old lawyer in the first place? I know they allude to it in the conversation on the boat when Orson Welles uses the shark metaphor what did they ever explain why or how she ended up with the old lawyer?

Because of the unusual story structure, the incredible camera angles, the editing, the fine acting, the unusually unlikable characters, the lack of a traditional happy Hollywood ending, the fantastic mirror sequence, the way the actors lines overlap over one another’s, the sets, having a chase scene in a Chinese opera...really, the innovations are endless and can’t really be appreciated without multiple viewings and a clear understanding of the usual Hollywood pablum which preceded it.
