All is Brazil.(Tudo E Brazil) The third of director Rogerio Sganzerla's documentaries on Welles and his time in Brazil making It's All True, this one uses recordings, archival footage and photos of Welles, as well as art and music of Brazilian musicians, to paint a loose picture of Welles' time in Brazil and his interaction with the culture. Very non-linear in construction, and frustrating if you're looking for a more straightforward documentary about that period of Welles' career. Not available commercially, but it can be found on the grey market. 82 minutes.
The Battle Over Citizen Kane. This version of the DVD is currently out of print, as the film is also available on the Citizen Kane DVD set from Warner Bros. The two discs are identical.
It's All True. Released on VHS and laserdisc. Video catalog # 5040 (Paramount).
It's Not All True. Director Rogerio Sganzerla's first of three documentaries about Welles, in which the story of Welles' work on It's All True is re-constructed. Not available commercially. In Portugese, 95 minutes.
The Language of Orson Welles. Rogerio Sganzerla's second work on Welles, this short (22 min) film details more about Welles in Brazil. The description I saw of this didn't make it too clear what it was about, so I'll leave it at that. Not available commercially. In Portugese.
The Magnificent Welles. Written, directed by, and starring Marcus Wolland, this one man play is set in Rio in the spring of 1942, as Welles discusses his life amidst the wreckage of Ambersons. Available from Stage Direct. Detailed review here.
One Man Band. This documentary, newly re-edited for broadcast in the U.S., presents clips from many of Welles' later, unreleased/unfinished work for the first time. Original version made in Europe, copies of which have been available on the underground circuit for years, although it has not had an official release in the U.S. in that version. The new version features narration by Peter Bogdanovich.
The Orson Welles Story. This interview with Leslie Megahey of the BBC was broadcast in 1982, and covers the span of Welles' career, focusing mainly on his film work. It was broadcast in a truncated form as Stories From a Life in Film by TNT. Bootlegs of the full broadcast are available through clandestine sources...
RKO Story: It's All True. From the series The RKO Story, this episode focused on Welles and his time with the studio, which of course ended badly for all. Recommended. Not available on video.
