Interviews with Orson Welles are more engaging than 99% of movies made nowadays.

I just noticed the joke Cavett and his crew put in the credits at the end of the show: "Entire production conceived, produced, directed, written, staged, choreographed, built, designed, lit, managed, rehearsed, contracted for and criticized by Orson Welles."   LOL     that was awesome

Orson Welles was just so...grand and majestic. I don't watch him so much as I regard him. There will never be another.

What is intriguing about Cavett and Welles, is their insatiable curiosity about things. It's always thoughtful

I could listen to Welles talk for hours. 👍

“One’s privacy is invaded enough without doing it to oneself”

He's the only filmmaker I know of who casts himself as the villain. Multiple times. He was also the first to produce a Shakespeare production with an all-black cast.

Just the prolonged applause at his entrance confirms the high esteem he's held in - then and now.

Orson was a great raconteur and every story he would tell was a colorful, masterful performance in itself.

America should be so proud of this great man.

Orson led a truly epic life.

I have fallen head over heels in love with Orson fucking Wells. That man was stupendous. So pleasurable and proper. Reminds me of the etiquette that my grandmother taught me. Makes me smile

Welles was a true Renaissance Man, the likes of which we'll probably never see again.

Probably the best interview ever.... immensely intelligent and witty, mr wells takes us to a time where famous people had so much more class than nowadays celebrities.

Any sensible dream dinner party would have Orson Welles at the table.

Entire production conceived, produced, directed, written, staged, choreographed, built, designed, lit, managed, rehearsed, contracted for and criticized by Orson Welles.

What a booming voice. Intelligent and confident - would love to have been able to have known him

Love thes old Dick Cavett interviews. Just great conversation without needing to plug a book or film.

What a great story teller.

Listening to Welles lifts my spirits in these depressing times
