He began his directing career in 1940, at the age of twenty-five, with \u003ci\u003eCitizen Kane\u003c\/i\u003e, an undisputed, ground-breaking masterpiece of cinema history. Welles’ stature as a baroque, impetuous and profoundly free artist made the studios uncomfortable. He had control of every detail on the twelve feature films he was able to make, including \u003ci\u003eLady from Shanghai\u003c\/i\u003e with Rita Hayworth (1947), \u003ci\u003eTouch of Evil\u003c\/i\u003e with Charlton Heston (1958), adaptations of Shakespeare’s plays including \u003ci\u003eMacbeth\u003c\/i\u003e (1948) and \u003ci\u003eOthello\u003c\/i\u003e (1952) and Kafka’s \u003ci\u003eThe Trial\u003c\/i\u003e (1962). Orson Welles remains a unique figure in cinema history and a real source of inspiration for future generations of film-makers.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Phaidon Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44897540997349,"sku":"NP9782866427016","price":9.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/k12savings.com\/products\/orson-welles-isbn-9782866427016","provider":"K12savings","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
