A fair bit stagey and mannered, but very interesting nonetheless, and at an hour it doesn't overstay its welcome, telling a very original and intriguing story efficiently and without clutter. It's easy enough to draw somewhat of a parallel here with Welles' own life, but I hesitate to make that comparison because who knows how valid it is?

Welles' most underrated. It's sort of a warm up to F for Fake, where the themes touch on the complexity of fact vs. fiction, but here done in a more subtle manner, with a straightforward narrative.

Excellent underappreciated Welles story here

Certainly Welles' most underated. It's seriously amazing.

Undeniably passionate work.
