Re: Wise's & Moss' Role In "Ambersons" Re-Editing

Hear hear both Todd and Ray. Carringers essay to me is simply ridiculous. A close examination of the actual chronology of the events from October 1941 to when Welles boarded the plane on 29th Jan. 1942 will dispel the notion that he was in any way responsible for the debacle that ensued.

Re: Your favorite Welles performance in a film he didn't direct

There's a few others not mentioned yet that I'm partial to.
