What is maddening is that there are flashes of Welles brilliance here and there, but never enough to do a whole film. The DVD has a great documentary about all his unfinished projects.
Damn few better films than Citizen Kane and The Third Man.
Everyone would stand in line to laud him as a giant, but no one would finance any of his work.
'The Third Man' was actually a Carol Reed film. Welles claimed he did not give Reed any advice but it sure looks like it.
