Description:
It's All True was a film project undertaken by Orson Welles and Mercury Productions, Inc. for RKO Pictures in 1941. The film was initially conceived by Welles to consist of four medium-length films based on true stories, including a short history of jazz. His appointment as goodwill ambassador to Latin America and head of the Office of the Coordinator of Inter-American Affairs later in 1941 resulted in his focusing his multi-story project on Latin American subjects, some of which had been part of the initial project. Welles shot segments of the film before RKO terminated the project, and his subsequent attempts to complete the film were unsuccessful. and In English.
