Aroview: A typically Welles-ian shaggy dog story, with Welles himself playing a possibly insane, Kane-like billionaire, who hires a detective to research his shady past, before re-making it completely. Its wealth of baroque invention belies its low-budget origins.

As no 'definitive' editions exist there are four versions to choose from that can be distinguished by their various running times.

2 stars (Good Try) Second or third time I've seen this, and the screenplay still doesn't hold the attention, even though the synopsis holds promise. ~Tubbs
