[@jeitoots]

One of my favourite Orson Welles documentaries.

I watched this years ago. Wonderful to see it again.

I loved the ghost story he did in 1953 Return To Glennascaul,it is here on KZbin, worth a look.

One of my favourite movies of all time

There can't have been many more fascinating humans than Orson

[@alexfletcher5192]

His extraordinary honesty in this is the selling point. What the world might missed out on if he HAD abandoned pictures. Rather than ending up as a robot.

Arena was on bbc4 two weeks ago. They had an evening of orson then needless to say my sky box was on record for hours.

What a director/actor/character/intellect. I wish we had some more of his caliber in Hollywood these days.

Orson would have made a fabulous Bond villain.....with a glass of Domecq Double Century in hand...👌

Watching this makes me realize what an absolute genius the late John Candy was. He nailed Orson 100%.

[@HumanBeanbag]

John Candy was perfect as Orson Welles on SCTV

[@nellyfett2681]

Surely his best work - Transformers the Movie!

[@ericsynchrona5495]

What did you do

[@shingitai5882]

He was a very famous actor and director, famously he once did a play on the radio about an alien invasion and caused a huge panic in America because people who switched on thought it was actually happening!😂

[@mark-shane]

Maybe the only real genius of Movie making

[@petergivenbless900]

I wonder if the English director Orson was talking about, who would constantly shake his head and just go for take after take, was the director of the infamous Champaign commercial: Clapper/Loader: 102, take 2 Director: Action Orson please [awkward pause] Orson: AAAAAAAAAhhh.... the French... Champaign!

[@lisaburns4131]

He says on this in my hot youth. He was a hot youth and a very very handsome man.
