In the late 70's Ralph was in California making Resurrection and was invited to accompany a guest invited to Orson Welles' home, and they viewed his unfinished film "The Other Side of the Wind." Welles was trying to get financing to finish the film and hence the party. Ralph said at the time it was the best work Welles had ever done. There is an upcoming book about Welles and you can read about the book here.
