His thoughts on silver screen icons like <a href=\"http:\/\/www.moviesunlimited.com\/search?q=greta+garbo&#038;mod=AP\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">Greta Garbo<\/a> and <a href=\"http:\/\/www.moviesunlimited.com\/search?q=james+cagney&#038;mod=AP\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">James Cagney<\/a> are so interesting because they speak not only from his own personal experience &#8212; one that saw him experience tremendous highs and crippling lows &#8212; but also due to the reverence in which Welles talks about a period that he lived through that he felt was truly unique.
