.....without question this 1960 Paris interview within his Suite at Le Meurice Hotel, is Orson Welles greatest, most revealing interview ever conducted.....
@@markandresen1 I agree. i watched Orson's interview with Michael Parkinson in 1974 on the BBC and it drove me mad. Orson was wonderful as he always is, but you could tell that Michael Parkinson was nervous as hell and didn't quite know where to go with the questions. Someone in the comments said that Orson had request Michael throw out his questions and they just have a conversation; in my opinion Mr. Parkinson wasn't quite up to the task, and all that escapes that interview is Orson's natural talent as a conversationalist. In this interview, Mr. Braden does a much better job. I'm very glad this is posted, as I didn't know it existed until about a week ago.
The biggest lie here, is that Welles alone wrote “Citizen Kane”. Two names are on the screen credit. Watch David Fincher’s recent, “Mank” to see the truth. I wondered if the interviewer had even seen the film. Goofy.
@danochrane5577 Mank is itself based on a lie, that Welles had nothing to do with it. Mank is a Welles character-assassination. The two of them both worked on separate drafts and Welles combined them into the finished item.

My favourite Welles TV interview, even amongst all the great ones he gave; mainly for the answers he gave.
Thanks guys! This is a wonderful interview and document.
Always wanted to see a conversation between Welles and Sterling Hayden. Such amazing characters.
Mr. Welles was so eminently listenable.
Bernard Braden was the interviewer.
A fool!
He was good, which is why Welles gave interesting answers.

27:30 That interviewer has amazingly narrow understanding of voice/expression, and he himself is supposed to be an actor?!
if we can be as humble and funny as orson, we've done ok
Humble? He's acting.
@@jshaers96 Yes Dahling, we're always acting
Actor,writer,director, one of the first to do all three…
@@stewartjones5624An English guy called Bill Shakespeare said that.
Ok
At 40 minutes in he's asked about teamwork' in Citizen Kane. Welles never mentions Herman Mankiewitz. Shameful.
