Résumé

Revealing the facts rather than the myths behind Orson Welles' Hollywood career, this groundbreaking history analyses the career of one of the most well-known American filmmakers. Exploring why Welles' films never matched his youthful masterpiece "Citizen Kane", this investigation delves into the enemies that hounded him, his unwaning faith in his audience, and the brilliance of his films - before they were butchered by the studios. Based on shooting scripts, schedules, internal memos, interviews, articles, lectures, and personal correspondence, this work creates a concrete picture of his professional and artistic struggles and successes. This heartbreaking tale brings to life the intelligent, perceptive, and passionate man who, for all his failings as a person, was utterly uncompromising in his art.
