  • The
  • reason
  • for
  • the
  • decline
  • of
  • Orson
  • Welles's
  • career
  • is
  • a
  • hotly
  • debated
  • issue,
  • but
  • decline
  • it
  • certainly
  • did.
  • When
  • Citizen
  • Kane,
  • his
  • first
  • film,
  • opened
  • in
  • 1941,
  • Welles
  • was
  • universally
  • acclaimed
  • as
  • the
  • most
  • audacious
  • filmmaker
  • alive.
  • But
  • instead
  • of
  • marking
  • the
  • beginning
  • of
  • a
  • triumphant
  • career
  • in
  • Hollywood,
  • the
  • film
  • still
  • regularly
  • voted
  • the
  • greatest
  • ever
  • made
  • proved
  • to
  • be
  • an
  • exception
  • in
  • Welles's
  • life
  • and
  • work.In
  • 1947
  • Welles
  • left
  • America
  • for
  • Europe
  • and
  • lived
  • for
  • the
  • best
  • part
  • of
  • twenty
  • years
  • in
  • self-imposed
  • exile.
  • Welles
  • himself
  • famously
  • quipped
  • 'I
  • started
  • at
  • the
  • top
  • and
  • worked
  • my
  • way
  • down'
  • -
  • the
  • second
  • volume
  • of
  • Simon
  • Callow's
  • compelling
  • biography
  • tells
  • the
  • story
  • of
  • that
  • complex
  • and
  • protracted
  • descent
  • from grace.
