Interviews with Orson Welles

Peter Bogdanovich

(4.5 Sterne; 7 Bewertungen)

Recordings of almost 4 hours of a series of interviews conducted by director and author Peter Bogdanovich with Orson Welles between the years 1969 and 1972. These extensive interviews, which were kept out of the public eye for many years, provide wonderful insights into Welles's craft and personality.

Edited and annotated by Jonathan Rosenbaum, the conversations cover Welles's experiences in acting, producing, writing, and directing. He shares his confidences and insecurities, as well as his plans for film projects that were either never made or only partially completed. Welles also discusses the triumph of Citizen Kane and later masterpieces like The Lady from Shanghai, Touch of Evil, Othello, and Chimes at Midnight.

His defense of his controversial adaptation of Kafka's The Trial is so fascinating that listeners might want to rush out and rent the film.

This recording is part of the Old Time Radio collection.
