Waddling Exile. In between Kane and Kafka, Welles took two wives (Rita Hayworth and Incumbent Paula Mori), gained a couple of hundred pounds, and directed seven pictures. His wildly impressionistic Othello, and Macbeth in Scottish burr, were called moody masterpieces in Europe, but failed miserably in the U.S. Aside from brief bits of acting (most memorably in The Third Man and Compulsion), Welles did little more than perpetuate his public caricature. Smoking sequoia-sized cigars, he waddled like an exiled giant through Europe, looking gloomily for a future and nostalgically at the past...

What Rita Hayworth was to the American G.I., a lissome lass named Jane was to the British Tommy-and more. Jane was the comely blonde heroine of a comic strip in Britain's giant Daily Mirror (circ. 4,593,263). She somehow managed to lose her clothing at least once a week, and she was so popular that the morale of the R.A.F. was said to rise and fall with her skirts.
