Directed by Carol Reed. Orson Welles, Joseph Cotten, Trevor Howard. Blu-ray playing now on the big new TV. I already loved this movie. Every time it is a tilted joy. Graham Greene story and screenplay. The ending kills me. Robert Krasker cinematography. Known for its heavy use of the Dutch Angle. It's practically all Dutch Angle. A classic thriller. Almost the perfect thriller.

Other anecdotes from the softball game:
- Magnum's team was called "The Paddlers". They wore a King Kamehameha Club cap, and the letters "KKC" appeared on the back of their blue-white jerseys.
- Magnum played shortstop and hits left-handed, but throws right-handed. He wore #14.
- T.C. played first base and hits and throws left-handed. He wore #32.
- Rick played catcher, then later pitcher, and he hits and throws right-handed. He wore #Seven.
- Magnum chews Red Man smokeless tobacco when playing.
- Magnum made an ultra-rare 6-3 triple play to get Rick out of a jam.
- Higgins is the third base coach (despite the fact that he hates the game).

Film scholar Jonathan Rosenbaum, editor of the 1992 book This is Orson Welles — a record of interviews Peter Bogdanovich conducted with Orson Welles — began his April 2002 review of The Cat’s Meow with this exchange about Citizen Kane (1941):
OW: In the original script we had a scene based on a notorious thing Hearst had done, which I still cannot repeat for publication. And I cut it out because I thought it hurt the film and wasn’t in keeping with Kane’s character. If I’d kept it in, I would have had no trouble with Hearst. He wouldn’t have dared admit it was him.
PB: Did you shoot the scene?
OW: No, I didn’t. I decided against it. If I’d kept it in, I would have bought silence for myself forever.“The incident Welles alluded to in this exchange is the subject of The Cat’s Meow, directed by Bogdanovich and adapted by Steven Peros from his own play,” Rosenbaum wrote. “Bogdanovich may see Welles as the inspiration for his film, but I have no idea where Peros got his facts.”
Rosenbaum did find a similar story in the 1979 edition of The Film Encyclopedia by Ephraim Katz, in the entry on Thomas Ince; and in the1971 essay on Citizen Kane by Pauline Kael:
Her principal source was John Houseman, script supervisor for cowriter Herman Mankiewicz, and it seems safe to conclude, even without her prodding, that some version of the story must have cropped up in Mankiewicz’s first draft of the script, which Welles subsequently edited and added to. According to Kael, the only trace of the subplot left in the script is a speech made by Susan Alexander, who was loosely based on Davies, to the reporter Thompson about Kane: “Look, if you’re smart, you’ll get in touch with Raymond. He’s the butler. You’ll learn a lot from him. He knows where all the bodies are buried.” Kael writes, “It’s an odd, cryptic speech. In the first draft, Raymond literally knew where the bodies were buried: Mankiewicz had dished up a nasty version of the scandal sometimes referred to as the Strange Death of Thomas Ince.”
Orson Welles spaghetti western. Another title from Alex Cox. This was one of the better ones I watched when I was first looking for spaghettis. Also acclaimed. Welles behaved less than admirably on set, allegedly. Found on Youtube.
