There is no better way to get a sense of who Orson Welles was and what his take on the various happenings of his career was, than via this set of recordings. Yes, the quality is not always great -- but you get to hear Orson telling the driver where to turn, as he and Peter chat in the back seat, or Orson asking the waiter a question, in the middle of their conversation. Of course, that also means you get some road noise in the background, or the sounds of various restuarants.
The major drawback is that for those that are unfamiliar with Orson's films, the conversation may be a little hard to follow at times. And, more importantly, there were MANY more hours of recordings made and used for the printed version of these interviews.... and all we get are a few hours of the prime material.
Come on, Peter: Release the whole shebang. Of, if that can't be done because of the economics of it, do the scholarly community a favor and place it online to that people can listen to it over the internet! (I'll help!)

Need to state this is an old library book!

This is an old, dilapidated 1993 book scrapped from Sacramento public library! I feel I've been duped!
