Orson Welles on Movie Making - "Unreal but true!"

Orson Welles talks about ignorance, his childhood, personal behaviour, not to be asked for a magic trick, "unreal but true", the job of the director, directors in general, great parts as an actor and his love in making movies. Excerpts from the portrait: "Orson Welles - Stories Of A Life In Film" (Leslie Magahay, 120 Min, GB 1983).

Thank you for posting this. Oson Welles is both fascinating and brilliant. Every interview offers more.

"The only people for me are the mad ones, the ones who are mad to live, mad to talk, mad to be saved, desirous of everything at the same time, the ones who never yawn or say a commonplace thing, but burn, burn, burn, like fabulous yellow roman candles exploding like spiders across the stars..."-Jack Kerouac Welles reminds me of that quote.

The ones who decide to walk aimlessly down a railway line, loaded on booze and speed and die ?

A romantic in the most heartbreaking sense of the word...

[@bennythepooh4905]

He’s truly a fun loving person.

When you see orson's face at the beginning of the interview with the new technology clapper board instead of the old type and they offer him one is priceless he's really happy about receiving one

For more than thirty years I have dreamed that a print of his original cut of Ambersons will be unearthed one day. The print that was sent to Brazil and not returned etc. That somehow, somewhere a print of his original cut will surface. This has haunted me for more than thirty years.
