   NY in the post-World War II era, the television played movie after movie. The   
   TV was down in the basement of a house whose family was at odds with itself   
   and it was my    
   sanctuary of sorts from the rancor and petty spats. What was great about the   
   experience is that the movies played indiscriminately as the good, the bad and   
   the ridiculous followed one another almost endlessly.

   about the importance of this or the significance of that. It was just another   
   movie in a sea of movies. Although it stood out – so did numerous other   
   films – sometimes I find    
   the cult of personality surrounding Orson Welles as distressing as the slavish   
   devotion critics have for what it a good film and that's about all. There is   
   no need – on my part – to pick the film apart.
