Along the way he made inroads into the fledgling medium of television and a number of stage plays, including \u003ci\u003eMoby-Dick\u003c\/i\u003e, considered by theatre historians to be one of the seminal productions of the century. Meanwhile, his private life was as dramatic as his professional life. \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe book shows what it was like to be around Welles, and, with a precision rarely attempted before, what it was like to be him, in which lies the answer to the old riddle: whatever happened to Orson Welles?\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Vintage Publishing","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":45033836118167,"sku":"9780099502838","price":1489.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9780099502838.webp?v=1769209869","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/orson-welles-volume-3-9780099502838","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
