Description

In an almost parodic variation on Citizen Kane as well as The Third Man, Welles plays the enormously wealthy and always elusive Gregory Arkadin. His motives mysterious, the billionaire hires a young con artist (Robert Arden) to look into his past. Confidential Report offers another thoughtful Wellesian meditation on the art of fakery.
