Orson Welles was 25 years old when he made Citizen Kane, and the
enduring greatness of that directorial debut was both blessing
and curse for the remainder of his career. A genuine maverick
whose genius was rarely accommodated by the studio system, Welles
pursued ambitious projects with fierce independence, often spending
years (and most of his own money) on films that were patchwork

Welles was a victim of an industry that could not contain
his talent--a filmmaker whose greatest works transcend the constraints
of commercial appeal.
