Welles's innovative theatrical work in the 1930s has never been better described or analysed.

To some, she was the female Tarzan. To others, she was the sexiest pin-up of their teenage years. To the Coca-Cola Company, she was the way to liberate millions of dollars held hostage in Africa. But to executive producer Yoram Ben-Ami, she was the most complex and challenging motion picture he had ever made.

A director was once a functionary; then an important but not decisive part of an industrial process; then accepted as the person who was and should be in charge, because he was an artist and a hero. But the world has changed.
