Documentary review - "This is Orson Welles" (2015) ***

Clift notes version of Orson's career, which clocks in at under an hour. It includes interviews with his daughter Chris (mostly affectionate), Peter Bogdanovich, Henry Jaglom, Martin Scorsese and Joseph McBride. There's lots of footage from Jaglom's films.

It's hard to pack Orson's life into something under an hour. This does as good a job as any.
