Book Reviews of Despite the System: Orson Welles Versus the Hollywood Studios
Book Review: Interesting
Summary: 4 Stars
If you have ever seen Citizen Kane and enjoyed Orson Welles' performance, I think you will enjoy reading this book. The author tends to badmouth other critics which is pretty funny, but he also gives a nice insight into the life of Orson Welles. Pretty interesting although I wouldn't call it the EASIEST read. Fairly easy though.
