Book Reviews of Making Movies with Orson Welles: A Memoir
Book Review: Charming memoir of working with Orson Welles
Summary: 5 Stars
During the last 15 years of Orson Welles' life, Gary Graver was Welles' dedicated cameraman. Even though Welles only completed two films during these years (his last masterpiece "F for Fake" and the spellbinding "Filming Othello"), this period was one of great activity and creativity. Graver was with Welles every step of the way. Graver's memoir, structured as a series of anecdotes, gives a wonderful sense of what working with Welles was like. Along with Joseph McBride's "What Ever Happened to Orson Welles" and Peter Tonguette's "Orson Welles Remembered", Graver's book is a bracing corrective to the misconception of Welles' last years as wasted and unproductive. Graver's modesty, loyalty and warmth shine through on every page. Kudos to Andrew Rausch for pushing the book to completion after Graver's death. Highly recommended.
