But I don't think it's his best work, mainly because of the "happy" ending that was actually grafted on by stupid producers. (It's said to be the end of the original novel!?)
Of all the Orson Welles films I've seen, it's the only film that doesn't use a lot of dizzying "cross-montages", more so than the former. What is rare is that it is actually a movie that is mainly emotional!
Delicate, warm and almost unrecognizable (Orson Welles movie).
The whole film (the main line) is basically a detailed description of the life (mental path) of a spoiled rich boy for most of his life. Tim Holt, who played the "rich boy", showed his genius acting in this film, he is the soul of this film! (It can even be said that it is more important than the director himself).
