This assemblage of Welles's footage by Jess Franco, from 1992, is crude, gappy, and slapdash, but it hardly matters: the pathos of Welles's thinly veiled self-portrait is almost unbearable.

Don Quixote
One man scorned and covered with scars still strove with his last ounce of courage to reach the unreachable stars and the world will be better for this.
