Change To A Feature Film
Welles decided to push ahead by expanding the production into a feature film, made in black and white. Singer/actor Frank Sinatra (an old friend who Welles had first befriended when the two were newcomers to Hollywood in the early 1940s) invested US$25,000 in the new film, with Welles providing additional self-funding derived from his work as an actor.

“Jealousy is bred in doubts. When those doubts change into certainties, then the passion either ceases or turns absolute madness.”
—François, Duc De La Rochefoucauld (1613–1680)
“The paid wealth which hundreds in the community acquire in trade, or by the incessant expansions of our population and arts, enchants the eyes of all the rest; the luck of one is the hope of thousands, and the bribe acts like the neighborhood of a gold mine to impoverish the farm, the school, the church, the house, and the very body and feature of man.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“Film is more than the twentieth-century art. It’s another part of the twentieth-century mind. It’s the world seen from inside. We’ve come to a certain point in the history of film. If a thing can be filmed, the film is implied in the thing itself. This is where we are. The twentieth century is on film.... You have to ask yourself if there’s anything about us more important than the fact that we’re constantly on film, constantly watching ourselves.”
—Don Delillo (b. 1926)
