Orson Welles $4.49 Who was Welles? A fat guy with a deep voice who drank a lot of sherry? An unreliable film-maker who always went over time and over budget? One of the most innovative storytellers of the century? He was all of this ana more. Welles shocked Broadway with his all-black voodoo version of Macbeth, challenged the US government with his production of The Cradle Will Rock, terrified America with his spoof radio broadcast of The War Of The Worlds, and then at the tender age of 26, directed what many consider the greatest American film ever made: Citizen Kane. The popular myth is that it was all downhill from there, that Welles became a fallen genius yet, despite overwhelming odds, he went on to make great film noirs like The Lady From Shanghai and Touch Of Evil. He translated Shakespeare’s work into films with heart and soul – Othello, Chimes At Midnight and Macbeth. And he refused to take the bite out of modern literature, giving voice to bitterness, regret and desperation in The Magnificent Ambersons and The Trial. Far from being down and out, Welles became one of the first cutting-edge independent film-makers. What’s in this book? As well as the introductory essay Labyrinth Without A Centre, each of Welles’ films is analysed and there is a handy multi-media reference guide. Martin Fitzgerald has written Pocket Essentials on Stanley Kubrick, Alfred Hitchcock and Woody Allen. |

Discovering Orson Welles $24.95 Of the dozens of books written about Orson Welles, most focus on the central enigma of Welles’s career: why did someone so extravagantly talented neglect to finish so many projects? Film critic Jonathan Rosenbaum has long believed that to dwell on this aspect of the Welles canon is to overlook the wealth of information available by studying the unrealized works. Discovering Orson Welles collects Rosenbaum’s writings to date on Welles–some thirty-five years of them–and makes an irrefutable case for the seriousness of his work, illuminating both Welles the artist and Welles the man. The book is also a chronicle of Rosenbaum’s highly personal writer’s journey and his efforts to arrive at the truth. The essays, interviews, and reviews are arranged chronologically and are accompanied by commentary that updates the scholarship. Highlights include Rosenbaum’s 1972 interview with Welles about his first Hollywood project, Heart of Darkness; Rosenbaum’s rebuttal to Pauline Kael’s famous essay ”Raising Kane”; detailed essays and comprehensive discussions of Welles’s major unfinished work, including two unrealized projects, The Big Brass Ring and The Cradle Will Rock; and an account of Rosenbaum’s work as consultant on the 1998 re-editing of Touch of Evil, based on a studio memo by Welles. |

Orson Welles: Hello Americans $11.19 The reason for the decline of Orson Welles’s career is a hotly debated issue, but decline it certainly did. When <i>Citizen Kane</i>, his first film, opened in 1941, Welles was universally acclaimed as the most audacious filmmaker alive. But instead of marking the beginning of a triumphant career in Hollywood, the film still regularly voted the greatest ever made proved to be an exception in Welles’s life and work. In 1947 Welles left America for Europe and lived for the best part of twenty years in self-imposed exile. Welles himself famously quipped ‘I started at the top and worked my way down’ – the second volume of Simon Callow’s compelling biography tells the story of that complex and protracted descent from grace. |

This Is Orson Welles by Welles, Orson; Bogdanovich, Peter; Rosenbaum, Jonathan Edition , 0 $23.99 Innovative film and theater director, radio producer, actor, writer, painter, narrator, and magician, Orson Welles (1915–1985) was the last true Renaissance man of the twentieth century. From such great radio works as War of the Worlds to his cinematic masterpieces Citizen Kane, The Magnificent Ambersons, Othello, Macbeth, Touch of Evil, and Chimes at Midnight, Welles was a master storyteller, as expansive as he was enigmatic. This Is Orson Welles, a collection of penetrating and witty conversations between Welles and Peter Bogdanovich, includes insights into Welles’s radio, theater, film, and television work; Hollywood producers, directors, and stars; and almost everything else, from acting to magic, literature to comic strips, bullfighters to gangsters. Now including Welles’s revealing memo to Universal about his artistic intentions for Touch of Evil, (of which the director’s edition was released in Fall 1998) this book, which Welles ultimately considered his autobiography, is a masterpiece as unique and engaging as the best of his works. |
