Prologue

Prologue to a Project

Orson Welles is considered one of the greatest if not the greatest film directors of all time. Cynics such as Woody Allen seem to think he's the only talented director America has produced. I selected Orson Welles due to the fact of his experienced and  before-his-time filmaking techniques. Modern films is what it is, because of Orson Welles. That's why I have chosen to watch and review each of his films.

Orson Welles is considered the greatest director of all time by some. My quest is to find out whether that is fact, or fiction.






My first step is to lay a couple ground rules:

1. Only watch and review movies that Orson Welles Directednot Starred.

2. Only watch and review movies that Orson Welles was credited as directing.

3. Only watch and review his full length feature films.

The List

Citizen Kane, 1941
The Magnificent Ambersons, 1942
The Stranger, 1946
The Lady From Shanghai, 1947
Macbeth, 1948
Othello, 1952
Mr. Arkadin, 1955
Touch of Evil, 1958
The Trail, 1962
Chimes At Midnight, 1965
F For Fake, 1974
