Two strangers flirt in a bar but one gets more than she expected. A pair of con-artists attempt the perfect scam on an estate agent. A mugging victim turns the tables on her attacker. Originally three independent shorts, this anthology compiles them with an extra twist in the tail.
Orson Welles trained as an artist before he become an actor and director, and continued to draw and paint throughout his career - character sketches, storyboards, set designs, pictures of the people and places that inspired him. These artworks are a sketchbook of his life, and most have never been seen outside his family and close friends.
For the first time, award-winning director Mark Cousins has been granted access to this treasure trove of imagery, to make a film about what he finds there - the story of Welles' visual thinking, never before told. An exclusive new perspective on one of the 20th century's greatest creative figures, whose art and life continue to fascinate audiences today.
