They'll Love Me When I'm Dead

Several people interviewed in this documentary claimed that Orson Welles may never have intended to finish his film 'Other Side of the Wind'. However, several key reasons why the film was not completed - including the 1979 Iranian Revolution, a complete failure to raise any additional capital after his AMA award speech and a legal dispute over ownership of materials - could not have possibly been foreseen by Welles. Moreover, he would not put all the effort into bringing an expensive lawsuit if the ownership dispute conveniently served his original purpose of never finishing the film. If the lawsuit and the failed capital raise were all part of the plan for making an interesting film, no evidence is presented to support this assertion (nor do the filmmakers explicitly state this was the case).
