Customer Reviews

A wonderful visual history.

I'm a big fan of Orson Welles after recently watching the movie "Citizen Kane". I was blown away by the movie, but also by the great actor. I decided to delve deeper into his career, and I chose this book for a great starter. I found the book to be very good. It goes through the career of Orson Welles from movie #1 (Kane), throughout his death. The book is filled with great photos, and movie stills, each with a short caption. Please be aware though, this is a visual history, with very little text. It does include a bibliography,filmography, and a short roundup of his career, including a time line. I really enjoyed this book for the broad overview. I will now probably dig deeper with other books. For the price, I would not hesitate to pick this book up. As they say a picture is worth 1,000 words, and this book is chocked full of them! I will be picking up more books in this "Movie Icons" format. Happy reading/viewing!
