4 Extra Debut. Film-maker Alex Cox assesses the life of Citizen Kane creator, Orson Welles. With Simon Callow and Charlton Heston. From November 1999.

Film-maker Alex Cox assesses the career of one of Cinema's greatest directors, Orson Welles.

At the age of just 25 Welles made his stunning directorial debut with Citizen Kane, pushing existing film-making techniques as far as they could go. But his maverick nature became legendary and he failed to build on his early success.

With Simon Callow and Charlton Heston.

Produced by Colin Hughes.

First broadcast on 大象传媒 Radio 4 in 1999.
