My pleasure, Glenn. I agree, and was pleasantly surprised by the review's evenhandedness; no apparent agendas here (a rarity where Welles is concerned).

An updated edition of Joseph McBride’s book What Ever Happened to Orson Welles?: A Portrait of an Independent Career has been announced by the University Press of Kentucky.

The 400-page paperback is set for publication on January 11, 2022.

In updating What Ever Happened to Orson Welles? for its first-ever paperback edition, McBride has included significant developments of the past decade, chiefly the surprise discovery of the 1938 footage shot for the stage show Too Much Johnson and the completion of Welles’ last major work, The Other Side of the Wind.
