Movie Reviews of Working with Orson Welles
Movie Review: Working with Orson Welles
Summary: 3 Stars
Apparently intended to be an audition tape for the opportunity to edit and release one of Orson Welles last movies, The Other Side of the Wind, cinematographer Gary Graver's WORKING WITH ORSON WELLES is a moderately entertaining look at Welles from about 1970 to his death in 1985.
Cameron Mitchell and Peter Bogdanovich are about the only two immediately recognizable celebrity interviewees. Some of the Wellesian anecdotes are amusing, and there's a bit with Welles doing a magic act on the Tonight Show with Johnny Carson that's kind of fun, but for the most part this one goes nowhere slow. The highlight is the twelve-minute preview for another late Welles film that never got as far as a final cut - F is for Fake. Even Welles devotees should proceed with caution.
