Except for Citizen Kane and A Touch of Evil, both of which are probably seen only in college cinema courses, the films of Orson Welles are mostly ignored today. This is a shame. He was a bigger than life character with great creative energy, and besides that, he spoke highly of Wolfgang Puck's cooking (the results of which no doubt inspired one of his great quotes: "Gluttony is not a secret vice".... see prior post).
So, I'm bummed that I missed the Welles documentary Edge of Outside on TCM last night. I'll be sure to catch the rerun at 11:00 p.m. on July 19th though.
