Happy Hundredth Birthday to ORSON WELLES

 _______________________________________________________________________________________________

The  Orson Welles Centennial  
honors the man who was born
on May 6, 1915

And there is great news 
for those of us who 
love Orson Welles.
 
That should include anyone 
who has ever been
to the movies.

The image is from his 1941 masterpiece,  Citizen Kane,  
but the great news is about his unreleased last film,
The Other Side Of The Wind,  which he worked on 
during the last sixteen years of his life. 

A group of filmmakers has announced plans

to complete post-production on the movie.

We may have to repeat the word  Rosebud  one hundred times–
in one hundred different languages–before the end 
of the Orson Welles Centennial for that 
to actually happen.

(Unless you have $100 to donate to production costs.)

However, if you are like me and can only spare 
one hundred minutes, treat yourself to 
an absurdly delicious and profound 
Orson Welles film, F For Fake.

That free video, unfortunately, is not recommended
for people who believe they are one hundred 
percent honest for one hundred percent 
of the time.

That group of people should exclude anyone
who has ever breathed.

Here are some stills from  F For Fake:
