Description
Vol. 1 traces Welles's portentous childhood; his youth in New York, where he worked with director John Houseman; his notorious radio career; and the making of Citizen Kane. Vol. 2 continues by examining the years from Citizen Kane (1941) to Macbeth (1948). It also looks beyond Welles' Hollywood movie career to his work on radio and the stage during that same period. Vol. 3 reveals what it was like to be in Welles's intimate circle. It opens with Welles's self-exile from American and his realization that he could function happily and productively only as an independent filmmaker. His private life, meanwhile, continued to be as dramatic as his professional one, marked by excess of every imaginable kind.
