The Magnificent Welles

The Rise & Fall of Orson Welles

DVD Extras

Orson Welles (through writer and performer Marcus Wolland) holds court in scenes from the original play not included in the video, including Welles telling his favorite fable, the "Scorpion and the Frog," and debunking the controversy over who wrote Citizen Kane. Marcus Wolland also discusses his out-of-body experience inhabiting the spirit of one of the 20th century's most outsized personalities.


"The preliminary footage was spectacular."


"Aren't your spies keeping you informed, George?"


"If you're thinking about Orson Welles, affection is not the word that comes to mind."

We recommend The Magnificent Welles for viewers aged 14 and above. Orson Welles was a man of great intensity, and that intensity is evident here.
