Short Life Summary

This is a short but effective summary of Orson Welles' life career. Many more details could have been added, but as such it's an effective introduction to a remarkable life.

'Celebration' deserves to be celebrated!

This book is, in a word, fabulous. The text is concise, yet flavorful, and of course the subject matter (Orson Welles) is ALWAYS interesting, but the real wealth here is in those delectable photographs. The barrage of images starts with the cover and doesn't quit until the last page. All of them are tasteful, well-chosen, and evocative. A must for any Orson Welles fan...
