Orson Welles is a self-conscious storyteller who often invites his
audience to question the methods and veracity of what they see and
hear. He is that rare magician who both pulls the wool over our
eyes, for our delight, and unravels the wool before our eyes,
encouraging us to ponder the nature of the magic itself. Many of
the characters in Welles' movies can also be seen as magicians of a
sort, creating impressions intended to manipulate other characters,
or even themselves, in one direction or another. But unlike Welles,
few of them voluntarily expose their tricks to the scrutiny of
their victims. Six major Welles films - ""Citizen Kane"", ""The
Magnificent Ambersons"", ""The Lady from Shanghai"", ""Touch of
Evil"", ""The Trial"", and ""Chimes at Midnight"" - receive a scene
by scene analysis in this critical study. From a viewer's
perspective, it illuminates the dramatic rhythms of each film as
they unfold on screen and from the soundtrack. Frequent analogies
to other movies and pertinent quotations from the impressions of
other commentators broaden the text, always within the scene by
scene progression dictated by the principal film under discussion.
