Episode 29- Orson Welles: Mercurial Magician (Part 1 of 3)
Following on from our Marlon Brando and Michael Caine deep dives in the last few years, this time Orson Welles gets the Film Gold treatment. David ‘Ghosty’ Wills joins Antony for a 3-parter looking at the great man’s life, work and legacy. First up we discuss Orson’s early life and the start of his theatre and radio careers, both of which Ghosty feels are somewhat undervalued when compared to his more famous film work. Part 1 ends with the famous ‘War of the Worlds’ broadcast in 1938, our hero on the cusp of going to Hollywood and making the film that would make and break him… Part 2 will be out next month We hope you enjoy the show! 'Film Gold' is on all the main podcast platforms.
