Josh Karp's account of the making of The Other Side of the Wind, Orson Welles's last (and still unreleased) film, is at its best when describing Welles's personality, recounting his stories, and detailing his shooting and editing techniques and interactions with actors. The supporting cast is fascinating and includes John Huston, Peter Bogdanovich and, curiously, Rich Little. The money chase and the endless financial conflicts that are a key reason the film has not seen the light of day are less interesting and presented in a plodding style.
