The on screen career of Orson Welles is a vast and rather intimidating place, especially for the Welles newcomer or the casual fan. In this book, Chris Wade explores the whole of Welles' filmography, from his 1934 art film Hearts of Age, through classics like Citizen Kane and The Magnificent Ambersons, and to later directorial masterpieces, including The Immortal Story, The Trial, Touch of Evil, F For Fake and Chimes At Midnight. Also included is the large amount of narration work he did, not to mention the cameos and supporting turns in the films of other directors. From The Third Man to Transformers The Movie, this is a thorough journey through the screen career of one of cinema's greatest giants. Also includes new interviews and comments from the likes of Henry Jaglom (who directed Orson twice), writer Clifford Irving, James Frawley and comedy star Tim Brooke Taylor, who recalls working on an unfinished Welles work, One Man Band.
