He wanted to play the lead in the rock opera Tommy and his later films, including Mr. Arkadin and Touch of Evil, showed how money and power destroy men.
He wanted to play the lead in the rock opera Tommy and his later films, including Mr. Arkadin and Touch of Evil, showed how money and power destroy men. His second-best film, The Magnificent Ambersons features an opening montage of a man trying on many suits of clothing and a tacked-on happy ending. That was added to avoid having others edit the movie, as happened to his greatest film, for which he supervised every other element down to sewing costumes. For ten points, name this director who was brought to Hollywood with his Mercury Theatre to make Citizen Kane.
