Review
Enlightening memoir and homage to the legendary filmmaker....While this look at Welles' frenetic, independent filmmaking is a boon to film scholars and critics, fans of the actor and director will enjoy discovering the man behind the black cape. Making Movies with Orson Welles reveals why watching movies by Orson Welles is such an exhilarating experience. (Foreword Reviews)
It provides invaluable, fly-on-the-wall glimpses of the legendary director's eccentric but effective working methods during his obscure guerrilla filmmaking phase; some surprising revelations (e.g., Welles was asked to helm Popeye, later directed by Robert Altman); and entertaining anecdotes manifesting Welles' famously larger-than-life personality. (Booklist)
Making Movies with Orson Welles is a crucial contribution to the literature about Welles....Graver loved Orson Welles, and this book allows us to share the love. (National Board Of Review)
Graver writes of the 'incredible, surreal privilege' of working with Welles with affection and insight. (Film Comment)
Gary Graver, one of Orson Welles' closest collaborators, has written a superb book on Welles. It is a captivating and insightful look at their extraordinary relationship, a must-have for Welles fans and academians alike. (Frank Marshall, Producer, Raiders of the Lost Ark)
