For what it's worth, I felt compelled to send the paper this letter: To the Editor: After four decades of adversity and strife, on the threshold of finally being completed and released, Orson Welles's last film receives one more body blow: a front page story in the New York Times which gives away its ending without a spoiler alert. Back in 1941, I'll bet you didn't reveal the secret of "Rosebud."    Posted:   Oct 29, 2014 - 10:02 AM     By:   Doug Raynes   (Member) To its credit, the New York Times today made this a front page item: http://www.nytimes.com/2014/10/29/movies/hollywood-ending-near-for-orson-welles-last-film.html?_r=0 No word yet on who will provide the music.

Back in 1941, I'll bet you didn't reveal the secret of "Rosebud." It's not a "spoiler" Preston. Apparently the film begins with the death - in the style of CITIZEN KANE.    Posted:   Oct 29, 2014 - 10:49 AM     By:   Preston Neal Jones   (Member) Thanks, Doug, I hope you're right, and you probably are, now that I re-read the article. And, FWIW, there are now 20 Comments online, and none of them seems to have been given pause the way I was. I must say, however, in my own defense, that if the Times reporter had written as clearly as you did then I wouldn't have been given pause, either.

Woo Hoo!!!    Posted:   Oct 29, 2014 - 12:37 PM     By:   Preston Neal Jones   (Member) Amen and Hubba Hubba!    Posted:   Oct 29, 2014 - 2:21 PM     By:   Stephan   (Member) Two years ago, Michel Legrand told me he will write the music for this movie.    Posted:   Oct 29, 2014 - 3:07 PM     By:   Doc Loch   (Member) With a number of Welles films allegedly found to be in various stages of completion, he may become the first director to have more films released after he died than when he was alive. We've already had It's All True, a rough cut of Don Quixote, and a restored Othello, and there are rumors of a few others. By the way, the screenplay for Other Side of the Wind was published a few years ago in conjunction with a Welles retrospective at the Locarno film festival, but I am not sure there are English-language copies.    Posted:   Oct 29, 2014 - 3:43 PM     By:   Morricone   (Member) Two years ago, Michel Legrand told me he will write the music for this movie. Makes sense. The last film Welles was alive for was F IS FOR FAKE which Legrand scored. And having seen quite a lot of footage from OTHER SIDE OF THE WIND, it is right down Michel's alley.    Posted:   Oct 29, 2014 - 8:03 PM     By:   MMM   (Member) Oh, God -- you just wrecked it for me! I didn't know Citizen Kane died in the beginning of that movie?!    Posted:   Oct 30, 2014 - 12:37 PM     By:   Essankay   (Member) By the way, the screenplay for Other Side of the Wind was published a few years ago in conjunction with a Welles retrospective at the Locarno film festival, but I am not sure there are English-language copies. Yes, an English-language version of the Locarno book was available, but it is now out of print and quite scarce.    Posted:   Oct 30, 2014 - 12:53 PM     By:   Essankay   (Member) To its credit, the New York Times today made this a front page item: http://www.nytimes.com/2014/10/29/movies/hollywood-ending-near-for-orson-welles-last-film.html?_r=0 No word yet on who will provide the music. While I earnestly hope that this effort will be the one that finally results in the completion of Welles' film, I note that the article states "Royal Road Entertainment said on Tuesday that it had reached an agreement with the sometimes-warring parties to buy the rights." That is not the same as having actually bought the rights and taken possession of the footage. All I can say at this point is, after so many years of false starts on the completion, I'll believe it when I see it!    Posted:   Oct 30, 2014 - 1:28 PM     By:   Niall from Ireland   (Member) Oh, God -- you just wrecked it for me!

The link should work, though. Enjoy. (AND MAJOR SPOILER ALERT)    Posted:   Oct 30, 2014 - 3:37 PM     By:   Preston Neal Jones   (Member) Still funny, after all these years. Thanks, Doc! SAME SPOILER ALERT: If memory serves, Schulz also drew a strip in which (again, if memory serves), Snoopy carries a sled under his arm, walks past one of the kids, who then says to himself, "Rosebud?"    Posted:   Oct 31, 2014 - 6:36 AM     By:   Joe Sikoryak   (Member) With a number of Welles films allegedly found to be in various stages of completion, he may become the first director to have more films released after he died than when he was alive. . And to bookend the release of his last film, the National Film Preservation Foundation has released his "first" film, a silent film intended for a theater production.

Peter    Posted:   Oct 31, 2014 - 11:41 AM     By:   Preston Neal Jones   (Member) Hey, Peter, give credit where it's due: at least Joe didn't misspell "Joseph"! *** And Joe, if it's any consolation, nowadays lots of authors and journalists are misspelling "Cotten." (Latest example, the book, HITCHCOCK'S STARS.) Sic Transit Gloria Mundi.    Posted:   Oct 31, 2014 - 12:26 PM     By:   Doc Loch   (Member) And then there's the book on Hitchcock's Music that keeps referring to David RASKIN.    Posted:   Oct 31, 2014 - 12:57 PM     By:   PFK   (Member) Hey, Peter, give credit where it's due: at least Joe didn't misspell "Joseph"! *** And Joe, if it's any consolation, nowadays lots of authors and journalists are misspelling "Cotten."
