Despite the System

By Clinton Heylin

In this blow-by-blow account of the travails of Orson Welles, Heylin pits the visionary filmmaker against the philistine studios. After "Citizen Kane" tanked at the box office, the studio RKO took control of Welles's next projects. It is heartbreaking to read the filmmaker's reasonable--and largely unheeded--pleas for the integrity of his versions of "The Magnificent Ambersons" and "Touch of Evil." Heylin, a British biographer, relies too heavily on journalistic cliches, and his jauntily aggressive tone is downright grating. But it's not his fault that the story ended as unhappily as your average auteur film.
