RIP Orson!
It bears thinking what Welles would have done if it were not for the studio system of the forties. Would he have been hawking cheap wine?
Also the new Flight 4 anthology has a great War of the Worlds vignette by Bannister.
Thanks Swine.
snab - yup
arkonbey - It's a sad thought indeed.
Thanks for the tip
dean - you bet!
Rosebud - sled from Mars.
