...study here and I love this country for all the opportunities it is giving me. And it saddens me to see what America has come to. I can no longer stand idly by while the impeachment process takes place. I want to speak my mind. I want to defend the President...
...people sticking with him were the black members of Congress. It is a B-team White House now, with the best leaving and the ones who remain lacking the stature to tell the President what to do, much less how. Attempts to find a straight-talking TV lawyer to defend the President continue to fizzle, with three and then four candidates having refused the job.

The reissue, says its producer Rick Schmidlin, is "kind of an attempt to defend his genius." Indeed, the film is now better in many of its particulars, though you still have to buy Charlton Heston as a Mexican detective. Anyway, as Schmidlin readily notes, there's no way of knowing what Welles (or Davis or Hemingway) would have ultimately signed...
