Orson Welles in Wisconsin

. A movie being shot in front of an old Yugoslavian hotel. Past the actors and cameras, the man directing it was none other than...the legendary...Orson Welles. His public persona seemed to be give the people whatever they wanted ("boy genius," it didn't matter that he now weighed almost 400 pounds). But he made them work. Like Hitchcock he played his audience. Made us partners in what we saw. And I believe it is that active participation, more than the cinematography, the acting, the story, that we end up valuing.
