Orson Welles Interview (Citizen Kane)

[@angeltosome]

He seems geniuenly nice here. He smiles when Rosebud is brought up.

[@fifthbusiness1678]

Are you surprised? He always appeared nice, and was never a boring guest/interview.

[@smarterthananyone]

Orson Welles and Marlon Brando. Two enormous talents... Two enormous bodies.

[@jamesransom512]

I love how he absolutely refuses to dismiss any question as tawdry or vacuous. He listens drinks some tea and answers as best he can.

@@jamesransom512 when you’re comfortable and secure with yourself, this is what you get.

"Everybody denies I am a genius - but nobody ever called me one!" - Orson Welles. (People are so quick to invalidate those who've made great contributions to the art of filmmaking, especially those who do nothing but criticize.)

[@TheSaltydog07]

A great interview depends on the questions being asked by the interviewer. This one is excellent.

[@dougn2350]

Probably one of the most intelligent people who ever worked in the film industry

[@herbs275]

I like the Dick Cavett interviews. Alfred Hitchcock is another one I love to listen too.

[@missyglittervlogs3543]

Omg I love his voice soo much!

[@fredbazoo]

He was such an intellect.

[@christinegallacher7409]

Really interesting and nice to see Bernard Braden as well..

[@ireone4]

Rosebud is (according to a biography of Welles I'm reading) the pet name Hearst had for a certain part of his mistresses anatomy. I don't know if Welles even knew this at the time of writing Kane, but it may explain his little smile. (In case someone reading this doesn't know, Citizen Kane is based loosely on the life of Hearst)

[@nickthomas6827]

Welles knew everybody and probably heard about Marion Davies' Rosebud second hand.

[@Jaquobes]

I think that Welles's deity can blare during the whole video also thanks to the interviewer's clever questions.

[@danielmoksmann5654]

The way he says "no" at 1:14.

[@shahree100]

Style and elegance.

[@misterkevinoh]

dat voice

[@tubularbill]

This man was married to maybe Hollywoods most gorgeous star ever Rita Hayward. She left him after a few years because she felt Welles was far too intellectual for her. Nothing more to be said.

[@TheSaltydog07]

People flipped out when he dyed her beautiful red hair to platinum blonde for "The Lady from Shanghai."
I didn't.

Many within the vicinity inhaled the helium and floated away, R.I.P #Wewillneverforget NYC '97

[@ryanellis4474]

The best artists seem always underfunded and under-appreciated
Welles and Kubrick infamously had GENIUS films in their hearts that greedy, scheming, double-crossing, hand-rubbing money men never allowed them to make. Shame. Genius is bigger than greed (even if greed holds back genius).

[@Ididerus]

\\ paraphrasing //
Interviewer: "You must have a sense of home in your heart"
Wells: "Oh yes, yes. let me think...."
Interviewer: "So you have no sense of home in your heart"

[@mryouchiniro1074]

Rosebud !!!!!

[@MrToonMan]

oOhh YeS

[@palmecho_productions]

Of course he was once thin, anyone who's seen Citizen Kane knows that. But he's always had a full, boyish face.

[@guileniam]

He sounds more american in this interview, not so regal and booming like in other interviews

[@billthestinker]

Welles always smokes cigars to mask to no avail his constant flatulence.

[@rivervue2]

Seriously? Orson Welles and that's your question?? Use some other part of your brain, please.

[@neverloosehope4233]

Every cinema-goer should have the right to give kicks into ass of each
and every performer, director and cameraman of the movie Citizen Kane at
the end of the show as punishment for producing such uninspired,
monotonus movie with the charme of an empty tin-can !

[@ravishingravi]

Every cinema goer is waiting for your next film.

Didn’t know the mental hospital even had internet but here we are.
