Genius, artist, monstre sacré, Orson Welles had one of the most brilliant and tempestuous careers in show business.

Here he confides his most intimate feelings and recollections of his extraordinary life. With remarkable detail and intimacy, Barbara Leaming reveals the private Welles: from child prodigy and young lion in Dublin and New York, to the succès de scandale of his The War of the Worlds broadcast; from his auspicious directing debut with the legendary Citizen Kane in his 20s, to the sabotage of his further directing career by the Hollywood studios; from his affairs, carousing, and stormy marriage to Rita Hayworth, to his association with Roosevelt and aspirations to the presidency.

It is a picture with an all-star cast, including Laurence Olivier, Marilyn Monroe, Marlene Dietrich, Greta Garbo, Warren Beatty, Charlie Chaplin, Princess Margaret, and Prince Aly Khan.
