Incredible moment for MAVERICK IN THE MACHINE. Spencer Draper called it "a phenomenal book of film scholarship," ranking it among the finest books ever written on Orson Welles — and, in his words, one of the "finest books on film ever written." youtu.be/P6Dm9bZLuTo?... Book: tinyurl.com/3p637h65

Orson Welles's third film for RKO was a film noir. Making it became a battle over creative control — and a mystery over who really directed it. Maverick in the Machine dives into the fight behind Journey Into Fear, now #1 in Film Theory & Criticism on Amazon. 🎬 Grab a copy: a.co/d/02pvEPTN
