It's All True (1993)
Director: Richard Wilson, Myron Meisel, Bill Krohn
Movie review
From Time Out Film Guide
Some years back, footage of Orson Welles' 'lost' multi-part film - started in South America in 1942 but never completed (the fiasco basically ruined his career) - surfaced in a short documentary. What little there was (some Rio carnival footage, scenes from the fishing story 'Four Men on a Raft') looked stunning. In this documentary, happily, there's much more to show, including a half-hour sequence, with interviews detailing the film's bedevilled history, and an apparently pretty complete restoration of 'Four Men'.Author: GA
