But using that title for the subject matter of this 1961 movie is entirely out of place and exploitative. It was meant to be called “Something Wild In The City” and that’s just as bad.

They'll Love Me When I'm Dead 2018
Raised a few more questions than it answered about Orson Welles’ intent behind The Other Side of the Wind and what Welles did versus the people doing the reconstruction. (I had to research.)

I would rather have had 10 extra minutes of Dennis Hopper improvising conversation with Welles, behind the camera, doing the other part.
