Greetings to all you happy Wellesnet people:
As I long ago hooked up with Jeff and have contributed several articles to Wellesnet before it was even launched, I asked Jeff if he would like me to take over some of his posting burdens since he felt the need to go on sabbatical for a time. The timing seemed to be perfect, since by coincidence or design, I recently started my own blog on Orson Welles, since I have amassed a great deal of material that I wanted to post on the web.
Of course, since covering the exciting world of all things Orson is a job too big for any one person, Tony will also be joining me to add his expertise to Wellesnet. And to start things off with a bang, I’ve decided to post Mr. Welles talking about the ideas and themes in MR. ARKADIN…
I’m sure anyone who has recently brought and viewed the superb 3-disc Criterion DVD will find that Welles comments make for very enlightening reading.
So welcome and please feel free to e-mail me directly with any thoughts, suggestions, comments or contributions regarding the great man and his work.
Obediently yours,
Lawrence French
