This landmark study challenges the conventional wisdom that regards Welles's subsequent career as a long decline from that early peak, demonstrating that Welles continued to create audacious, profoundly moving, and richly varied films throughout his tumultuous life. Tracing Welles's development from his playful beginnings as an amateur filmmaker in the early 1930s to his masterly artistic summation in such late works as \u003ci\u003eChimes at Midnight, The Immortal Story\u003c\/i\u003e, and \u003ci\u003eF for Fake\u003c\/i\u003e, the book brilliantly synthesizes Welles's wide-ranging body of work into a thematic whole while providing in-depth analyses of the films he directed.Joseph McBride's passion for Welles's work and his groundbreaking scholarship made the first edition of \u003ci\u003eOrson Welles \u003c\/i\u003ea landmark study and a major influence on subsequent Welles critics and biographers. Out of print for almost two decades, \u003ci\u003eOrson Welles\u003c\/i\u003e has now been revised and expanded, with new sections on important films and restored versions that have come to light since the book's original publication in 1972, along with an introductory essay and an extended portrait of Welles at work on the still-unreleased Hollywood satire \u003ci\u003eThe Other Side of the Wind\u003c\/i\u003e (in which the author played an important role). The whole adds up to a work of film criticism that will stand as a model of the genre.\u003c\/body\u003e","brand":"Da Capo Press","offers":[{"title":"Orson Welles (Revised, Expanded) | Joseph McBride | Paperback | 9780306806742 | Used: Like New | Back Stacks A 1774590","offer_id":50756046848258,"sku":"1774590","price":19.77,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0609\/3327\/5906\/files\/31C_w4mIwcL.jpg?v=1792023232","url":"https:\/\/boswellsbooks.com\/products\/orson-welles-revised-expanded","provider":"Boswell's Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
