WELLESNET MESSAGE BOARD

I'll do my best. I'm not a theatre person by any means, so I'm afraid it won't be groundbreaking stuff.

I am from Columbus, so I believe I will have to check this out. Thanks for the heads up!

Wow. I hadn't seen that article before. I get it now. That's absolutely ridiculous.

So, Charles Higham's name is pretty much worthless in Welles Academia, as I understand. I'm afraid to admit that the very first book on Welles I bought (before I knew much about him at all, really) was his "Orson Welles: The Rise and Fall of an American Genius". I understand from reading a...

Very true. It's also nice (as a film maker just starting out myself) that even the greatest film maker ever made a dud every once in a long while.
