The Spring, 2010 issue of DGA Quarterly has just come out and features a fabulous 8-page collection of stills of Orson Welles directing on the set of 11 of his movies, ranging from Citizen Kane to The Immortal Story.
Jackie Lam, the DGA photo editor has done a splendid job of searching out some rare photos, many of which I’d never even seen before! You can download the DGA photo essay in PDF format HERE. It also makes quite a nice companion piece to the special Orson Welles issue of La Furia Umana.
The DGA Quarterly also has reprinted the 1969 reminiscences of many of the cast and crew who worked with Orson Welles on Citizen Kane in their Spring, 2006 issue HERE.
From the introduction to the article:
“The interviewees were found in many places: John Houseman at the Julliard School in New York, Richard Wilson at his beach house at Santa Monica, Ralph Hoge at his camera rental house, William Alland at an investment firm of which he is a partner, Paul Stewart at his home above the Sunset Strip, Agnes Moorehead on the Bewitched set, Joseph Cotten in the Polo Lounge of the Beverly Hills Hotel, Robert Wise in his Universal Office, James G. Stewart at Glen Glenn Sound, Mark Robson at 20th Century-Fox. Curiously, since working on Citizen Kane, Wilson, Hoge, Stewart, Wise and Robson have all become directors themselves.”
