"Editions Seghers' Cinema d'Aujourd ' hui In English," in which "Maurice Bessy, a distinguished French film critic and close friend of Welles, sees clearly through the Wellesian dazzle to the anguish at the heart of al Welles's work from Citizen Kane through Falstaff to the present. Mr Bessy's perceptive study is supplemented by selections from Welles's own comments on filmmaking and society, by a broad spectrum of critical and personal opinion, and by a long except from Salome, an unpublished screenplay."
