Episode 30- Orson Welles: Mercurial Magician (Part 2 of 3)

Film Gold

We continue our Orson Welles journey, accompanied by uberfan David ‘Ghosty’ Wills, with discussion of the big daddy of all films, 1941’s Citizen Kane. Was this both a blessing and a curse for Orson’s career? We also discuss Welles’s forays into wartime politics and the films ‘The Magnificent Ambersons’,, ‘The Stranger’, ‘The Lady From Shanghai’ and ‘Macbeth’.

The final part will be out at the end of the month

We hope you enjoy the show!

'Film Gold' is on all the main podcast platforms.
