| Read the text and questions below. For each question, choose the correct answer, A, B, C or D. Welles worked on the script with the respected writer Herman Mankiewicz. He knew the editor and all the actors, and a good relationship between them developed. He believed that the job of the director was slightly overrated and the director must think of himself as “the servant of the actors and the story”. Welles later films were never as successful as Citizen Kane. Critics felt other projects could not match the brilliance of his first film. This lack of success led Welles to feel that he had been rejected by the American public. He spent more time in Europe than in Hollywood where he only made a few films. For these few he had to struggle to raise the money, because he was often viewed as a commercial failure. He became overweight and made money by acting in films he hated. Yet he continued to bring a certain quality to everything he did. He died in California at the age of 70. In the introduction to his book, Rosenbaum remarks that Welles was a fine talker with an excellent memory. He was a strange mix of modesty and arrogance. He was above all an actor just as surely as he was a director. And actors, of course, like talking about themselves. He was constantly saying things that surprised people. Sometimes his stories were not absolutely true, but they were always good stories. We are left with an image of Welles which reflects the way he wanted us to think of him: as a man of culture, intelligence and wit. |
