Movie Haiku:Controvertial final "classic" by Orson Wells. The "Director''s Cut" is ripe with technical innovations, whereas the "Studio Version" has had all its edges sanded. In both cases, the best parts concern the tender relationship between Wells & Dietrich, both completely without vanity & playing against the memory of their youthful beauty.
