Sorting through 100 hours of footage left behind, Bogdanovich spearheaded the effort to finish the long-awaited satire of Hollywood’s golden age that both mirrors Welles’ life and carries on his legacy. Discussion with executive producer Peter Bogdanovich (via live video conference), moderated by Ben Mankiewicz (Turner Classic Movies)
