In this 1972 clip from "The Dick Cavett Show", guest Michael Caine discusses the controversies surrounding both "Zulu" and his latest film, "X, Y and Zee" (UK title: "Zee and Company").
In this undated clip from "The Dick Cavett Show", Orson Welles is in top form: he's humble (or pretending to be), witty, jocular and a master ranconteur., and he relates marvelous tales all the while puffing on one of his signature Churchill cigars. Here, he reflects on the making of "Citizen Kane" and a chance encounter with publishing magnate William Randolph Hearst, on whom the Kane character was partly based. Welles also explains about how his naivety and "dumbness" in terms of his knowledge of filmmaking helped ensure the artistic success of the movie. He also reflects on the great contributions of cinematographer Greg Toland. Welles claims he hadn't seen "Kane" since its premiere. That may be true, but keep in mind that Welles was, among many things, a master fabulist.
