From My Lunches With Orson: Conversations Between Henry Jaglom and Orson Welles, edited by Peter Biskind (Metropolitan Books, 2013):
Orson Welles: I told you about John O’Hara’s review of Kane? In Newsweek. ... He wrote the greatest review that anybody ever had. He said, “This is not only the best picture that has ever been made, it is the best picture that will ever be made.”
Henry Jaglom: What do you do after that?
Orson Welles: Nothing. I should’ve retired.
p.s. This movie still rips. The 85th anniversary release includes insights from film critic Leonard Maltin. – Kimberley Jones
