“The Other Side of the Wind” was supposed to be Orson Welles return to power or something close to it, but Josh Karp tells the story of what happened to leave it unfinished in the end.

During production many people asked Welles what his movie was all about. To his star, John Huston, he once replied, “It’s a film about a bastard director…. It’s about us, John. It’s a film about us.”

The answer, however, was different one evening when comedian Rich Little, who was also in the cast, found Welles propped up in bed, making script revisions.

“Orson,” Little asked, “what does The Other Side of the Wind mean?”

Looking down over his reading glasses, Welles, in his rich baritone, said, “I haven’t the foggiest.”
