Simon Callow on Orson Welles

Simon Callow talks about Hello Americans, the second volume of his biography of Orson Welles.

When Citizen Kane opened, Welles was universally acclaimed as the most audacious filmmaker alive, but his career never reached such heights again. Callow examines the decline of a man unable to function within the Hollywood system.
