1942 was the year everything went wrong for Orson Welles. He couldn’t fight for The Magnificent Ambersons because he was in Brazil at the behest of Nelson Rockefeller, working on a pan-American propaganda piece, an anthology film mixing documentary and fiction to be called “It’s All True”. That film was never finished, and Welles’ Hollywood career never recovered – but Bill Krohn’s reconstruction explains why it was such an important project, and recovers more footage than anyone could have imagined.
CAST: Orson Welles, Manuel ‘Jacare’ Olimpio Meira, Jeronimo AndrĂ© De Souza, Raimundo ‘Tata’ Correia Lima
