This Is Orson Welles by Peter Bogdanovich, Orson Welles

paulataua's review against another edition

3.0

A collection of conversations between Orson Welles and Peter Bogdanovich taped over time with a loose intention to turn them into a book. The project was eventually abandoned, but resurfaced following Welles’s death. With its in depth discussions of scenes, techniques, actors , and snippets of fascinating information, it is probably priceless for aficionados of the director. For Welles’s appreciators who are not aficionados, it is a mildly interesting read.

While Orson Welles is very engaging throughout most of this book, I find Peter Bogdanovich's presence in the dialouge pretty annoying most of the time.
