A series of eight programmes in stereo Presented by Orson Welles
Written by BENNY GREEN
' Beneath the tough exterior of the Hollywood Mogul, there beat a heart of rock. Most of them invaded the United States as children, and carved out empires as young men. They were ruthless, irresistible, often megalomaniac, and sometimes funny. Between them they created the most fascinating, all-pervading popular entertainment form in the history of the world.'
