I once spent a day with Orson Welles and my dad in our West End apartment as they discussed the possibility of Orson directing and starring in a new version of Treasure Island. My father was to produce but they both drifted off into other projects. It was one of the best days of my life listening to these two great raconteurs sharing stories and ideas with me asking the odd questions about two of my favourite films Citizen Kane and The Magnificent Ambersons which Orson patiently answered.
