Hmmm, there's even a question of authorship on those (Harry Alan Towers reports that Ernest Borneman claimed to have written them,) but there are perhaps 6 that Welles (questionably?) wrote. I'm wondering which 6. I would guess:

Man of Mystery
Blackmail is a Nasty Word
Murder on the Riviera
since those wound up in the Arkadin script, and
Dead Candidate
since that wound up as Un Grosse Legume

Anyone know the other two?

OPERATION MUSIC BOX and
IT'S IN THE BAG

At least that's what I've heard.

In addition to those ( listed in "This Is Orson Welles book,chronology section by Jonathan Rosenbaum):
Ticket To Tangier, Two Is Company and The Golden Fleece.
Also I have the book "The Lives Of Harry Lime" (published by News Of The World,1952) and these 3 stories are included and OW mentioned as writer.
Rosenbaum doesn't mention "Blackmail..." but it is obvious and it is incuded in new Arkadin DVD, right?

Yes, in that DVD. Thanks! (I forgot to look in Rosenbaum's chronology.)
