In this episode the Director's Club tries to grasp the enormity
of the works of Orson Welles. It's an extended look at the
creative audacity that led to so much artistic triumph and career
tragedy, and to make sense of it we include a look at his pre-film
life and the many cinema endeavors that sadly never made it to the
film screen. In part 1 we look at his start working for the
movie studios, from his epic "Citizen Kane" through his take on
Shakespeare's "Macbeth".
