At the End of the Street in the Shadow: Orson Welles and the City by Matthew Gear us a free NetGalley ebook that I began reading late December, not too long before the holidays. I was immediately drawn to the cover of this book, since I'm deeply entranced by Welles' protrayal of Mr Rochester in the Joan Fontaine version of Jane Eyre. An image like this makes me believe rather immaturely that Mr Rochester could be outside right now, walking alone down a dark street. Maybe that's an image I should keep to myself for a lonely day.....
Welles' quotes are a sweet and pungent mixture, in that they are sometimes savory in nature, but then are heartbreaking in their distain. As for the contents of the book, just about all of it is synopsis, background information on the script (where just the briefest amount is devoted to the 'city' involved), and production facts. A lot of research, some theory, and that's about it.
