Okay so first if you want to learn more than you ever thought you'd learn about Orson Welles go out and get Simon Callow's biography on the man. The biography is actually an ongoing work and the third volume was just published this spring. It covers Welles' life from 1947 to 1964 and his exile from the US, so you get Touch of Evil and The Trial plus tons of stage projects and stuff. Callow puts out a volume every ten years or so, he does insane amounts of research and it's great. Then try to find the 1993 documentary on Welles' unfinished film project It's All True, which was shot in Latin America during 1941-1942. This was the film that cost him an insanely lenient contract with RKO, one which allowed him to shoot whatever he wanted with complete creative control. (In a nutshell: Orson Welles goes to Brazil, drinks and screws his way through Carnaval under the pretense of making a movie, inadvertently kills a national hero, and loses not only the project and his contract but also editorial control over The Magnificent Ambersons, which was what really hurt.)
