Orson Welles brilliant film maker but didn't have a clue as guest panelist on What's My Line? from 1958. This is funny!

I own this on LaserDisc. I have a bunch of the AFI Lifetime Achievement ceremonies.

Orson was also a great narrator (especially for some of those Biblical epics).

I still get a kick out of him narrating this motion picture preview...

There's a Doc on You Tube where Wells describes how easy and simple it was to create, build sets for and film Citizen Kane
Fascinating & amazing.
