His father was a well-to-do inventor, his mother a beautiful concert pianist; Orson Welles was gifted in many arts (magic, piano, painting) as a child. In 1931 he married, directed his first short, and appeared on radio for the first time. His first film to be seen by the public was Citizen Kane (1941), a commercial failure losing RKO $150,000, but regarded by many as the best film ever made. Many of his next films were commercial failures and he exiled himself to Europe in 1948.

Not as engaging as some of Welles' other interviews and discussions with an audience, but nonetheless an interesting insight into Welles' views on films and film making as he looks back on his life in cinema. Once again Welles proves himself to be a man ahead of the times but with one foot firmly in the past. Béhar is superb as translator and moderator, at times upstaging Welles.
