CBC Archives: Orson Welles on Seven Days, 1965

The last thing giants and important thinkers like Orsen Welles need is a fawning fan kissing up to him. I am grateful the interview took a few risks here (whether they worked or not).

Awesome interview. PW goes toe to toe with a man who is worthy of going toe to toe with and who needs intelligent people around him. I would love to see Patrick Watson interview Michael Bay or Geroge Lucas or Speilberg and hold them to account and intelligently challenge the shoddy terrible work they have flooded the world with in recent years and see where those conversations go.

Loved this clip, Orsen's laugh and enlightened straight and almost illuminations on whatever he talks about.

the interviewer is rather impertinent and slightly rude.but its a measure of welles as a man that he remains impassive throughout some absurd questions,and even has a good laugh.what a guy.

Around 1:52 you can actually see Welles thinking, "now you've overstepped the mark."

What an ass this reporter is. Someone,please post his name so he can be remembered as a fool.
