Frankly, the man was awesome, and somehow always managed to do impressive work in spite of the shackles placed on him by Hollywood.<br /><br />Over the years Welles has been maligned as the "temperamental genius.” Business types truly hate artists who demand control over their art.<br /><br />Those of us who work in animation should be well aware of that reality.Floyd Normanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08635960964922892254noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4761399790417030925.post-51075957401022579982009-05-13T07:18:00.000-07:002009-05-13T07:18:00.000-07:00I really like that your caricature of Wells, is hi...I really like that your caricature of Wells, is him as he packed on the pounds. I have only seen him in Citizen Kane but I think it`s ashame that he never got the full recognition he deserved when he was alive.justinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02841147378440503933noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4761399790417030925.post-59975991125917501492009-05-10T23:13:00.000-07:002009-05-10T23:13:00.000-07:00Thanks for posting this Pete.Thanks for posting this Pete.Bradenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04725977630223280179noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4761399790417030925.post-75460764177288816232009-05-08T10:11:15.734-07:002009-05-08T10:11:15.734-07:00This comment has been removed by the author.Mug It Up!/Jim Hhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03461061796823192797noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4761399790417030925.post-72102114297331953052009-05-08T06:00:00.000-07:002009-05-08T06:00:00.000-07:00That's a marvelous interview.

It seems to me in later years he was much more combative, possibly because the interviewers didn't show him as much respect.Mark Mayersonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00065971589878678848noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4761399790417030925.post-83359369271055780582009-05-06T09:46:00.000-07:002009-05-06T09:46:00.000-07:00Is it just me, or was Welles just better in other ...Is it just me, or was Welles just better in other people's movies?<br /><br />My favorite of Welles' "roles" was actually in an SCTV skit where a whole table of food was reserved for him at a celebrity eatery. You know, the same skit with Eugene Levy as Gene Shalit, with him causing the restaurant to take a machine gun dive off a cliff.Thadhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04443425643665474645noreply@blogger.com
