That's an interesting film. I enjoyed Welles and Oja in it. What clip did you post?

I liked it too. Welles's JP Morgan is not one of his more colorful performances, but the film is an interesting piece of revisionist history. It definitely calls into question Thomas Edison's character.

Anyone has seen the very beatiful Christopher Nolan's film "The Prestige" (in wich David Bowie plays the role of Tesla)? What a magnificient subject would have been for an Orson Welles film..

Yes, both THE PRESTIGE and THE ILLUSIONIST are films which I think Welles would have liked a hand in.
