Despite the system : Orson Welles versus the Hollywood studios
Heylin, Clinton2005
Books, Manuscripts
Orson Welles was only too aware, in his later years, that posterity would judge his life to have essentially been a failure, a neat parabola of decline that would arc down from his youthful masterpiece, Citizen Kane. This book looks at a man who was both a compulsive faker and perhaps the one true genius of the silver screen.
