Higham's THE FILMS OF ORSON WELLES

[Glenn Anders]

Tony: Thanks for the clarification.

I agree that the books may have been one factor, really a small one, but we are back to Welles' ironic conundrum in CITIZEN KANE. No one thing can explain a man's life -- except . . . Rosebud!!?

What was the Rosebud of the failure of Welles' later career to thrive? You seem to say, at some length, that it was substantively books by Charles Higham or Pauline Kael. I happen to disagree. But perhaps there was no Rosebud.

Anyway, I would rather -- really would -- examine, and speculate about, the works of Orson Welles.

Larry French is having Todd Baesen (his Richard Wilson) dig up a lot of stuff! But I want to have Baesen sent with my Chief of Security Vicktor Kleinhaagen to bring back the negative of TOSOTW from Paris.
Let's join forces to get that done.

Glenn: Larry and Todd are digging up this stuff? It's fantastic! As for discussing Welles's work verses his life, I'm glad you finally agree with me on that one! :;):

I only wish I was in San Fransisco so I could join you guys on your Wellesquests!!

A plane leaves Toronto at Midnight.

That gives you almost two hours.

Thanks again to Larry French/Todd Baeson for the Sokolov Newsweek article and the Bogdanovich rebuttal. I was very curious about both of them and was afraid I'd have to make a trip into the eye-straining world of microfische to try and find them. Now I don't have to. That's a pretty convincing rebuttal by Bogdanovich.
