Orson Welles is an iconic figure. In many ways he's a 20th century American folk hero. Non-cinephiles know him from appearances in TV commercials and Dean Martin comedy roasts & as the one-hit wonder behind Citizen Kane. But the length, depth, & power of Orson Welles' directing career is much greater than many people realize, and he even made some crime melodramas... or film noir. The greatest living poet Tom Will, & the greatest living person Hermes Thurston join me to discuss three of Orson's great post-war crime films: 1946's The Stranger, 1947's The Lady From Shanghai, & 1958's Touch of Evil. Enjoy.
