Yes, although Orson Welles didn't write or direct it - he starred and did write one memorable speech, though.

It's...different. Just incredibly grown-up and utterly amazing; you can watch it over and over and get more from it each time. In some ways it's reminiscent of Casablanca, but darker, reflecting the difference between WWII optimism and the reality of the Cold War. If you watch it, please let me know what you think!

Hmm...maybe I should make a recommended movie list. Or list all my DVDs, anyway; those that I'm not too embarrassed about, anyway.

Sounds like a project.
