    Incredible! I've been obsessed with Welles recently, and this was a perfect encapsulation of him and his films. His unfinished projects fascinate me the most

    This biological documentary is among the very best any UA-cam channel has produced. In fact, i would argue that you couldn't find anything on TV that could compete with this work.

    Brother, your editing skills are top notch. Just phenomenal work. I'm only a minute into the video so far, but I'm already blown away. I'm inspired each time I watch one of your videos. I don't know how this video isn't blowing up yet, but I'm sure that it will. Welles, for whatever flaws he may have had, is still one of my favorite filmmakers. Citizen Kane, Magnificent Ambersons, The Stranger, Touch of Evil, The Trial... yes, Citizen Kane is one of the greatest of all time, but there's more to find in that filmography if people haven't went looking.

    Thank you for this video! Orson Wells really was the opposite of arrogant. Watching the Dick Cavett interviews, you can see what a genuine person he truly was. Such an interesting and likeable man. I thought Tom Snyder wasn't the best interviewer in general. I believe Orson shone during other interviews with smarter people, i.e., Cavett. I just love Mr. Wells & appreciate his work & his personality.

    Amazing video. So many voice over journalism is exponentially inferior to your story telling with contextual edits.
    Its so hard to make the subject start speaking instead of just talking about the subject and for 34 mins? Thats insane dedication towards this, great work and great video.

    @thisisastory BRAVO! I am just 20 minutes in but you are hitting all the highlights of all the hours and hours there are of Orson, this is a masterfully edited/composed piece which shares so many incredible stories I picked up in my inquiries into Mr Welles. Excellent job, thank you very much for doing what I had once wished I could do, assemble all the right pieces of Orson so that others could fall in love with this genius whom popular culture has forgotten. Orson influenced so many who also became masters themselves, thank you for doing justice to the man. Really well done. ❤

    How can it be, that still, one of the most gifted artists in movie history is, alltogether, so underrated to this day. Yes, everybody knows Citizen Kane, but who really knows Orson Wells? A man, to which maybe just Kubrick can be compared. But no-one else!
