The Rise and Fall of Orson Welles: Genius or Fake?

Lights! Camera! Silence on the set! Tape rolling...3,2,1 ACTION!!

This episode follows the unique life of a true titan of cinema: the mighty Orson Welles. Join Douglas and Hugh as they explore this remarkable filmmaker, actor, wit, intellect, lover, bon vivant and consumer of many many pies. From the precocious cinematic genius that changed the medium, to the frustrated raconteur who became an extra large, we leave no stone unturned.

Discover how Welles convinced a nation that the martians were coming all over them, how he annoyed media mogul William Randolph Hearst and why Douglas never got over his childhood crush on a boy called Pickles...
