Welles,
By
This review is from: Orson Welles: The Rise and Fall of an American Genius (Paperback)
One thing's for sure: Higham's 1985 ORSON WELLES: THE RISE AND FALL OF AN AMERICAN GENIUS is an entertaining read.Published just months before Welles' death, RISE determines to cut through Welles' mythmaking and debunk the legend. It is quite effective in doing so. But Higham short-changes the last thirty years of Welles' life, and is so determined to emphasize the bad things that the overall portrait emerges as grotesque. This might not be bad if Welles was not so famously charming. |
