Henry Jaglom's latest, 45 MINUTES FROM BROADWAY

For those interested in what Henry's been up to lately, his most recent film, 45 MINUTES FROM BROADWAY, was just sneak previewed:

It apparently concerns the Yiddish Theatre, which Orson Welles had a real fascination for, calling it "the only true international theatre." Here's another webpage on the film:

Jaglom is terra incognita for me.

Are any of his films that include OW recommended?
Either for themselves, or (more important) in regard to OW?

(Just skimmed some reviews of "Someone to Love" at Netflix, which condemn this flic, on both counts.)

It is worth looking at since nothing with Orson is totally devoid of interest.

Quite true, Tony. Welles makes a nice presence in SOMEONE TO LOVE, which also co-stars Oja Kodar. A SAFE PLACE from 1971 was Jaglom and Welles's first collaboration and it's worth seeing too, even though it's a bit flaky and baffling in spots. Welles plays a mysterious, chess-playing magician in the park. Jack Nicholson's in that film too, and has some good scenes.
