520    In late autumn 1968, callow youth Dorian Bond was charged 
       with traveling to Yugoslavia to deliver cigars and film 
       stock to legendary Hollywood director Orson Welles. The 
       pair soon struck up an unlikely friendship, and Welles 
       offered Bond the role of his personal assistant -- as well
       as a part in his next movie. No formal education could 
       prepare him for the journey that would ensue. This witty 
       and fascinating memoir follows Welles, with Bond in tow, 
       across Europe during the late 1960s as they travel through
       Italy and France visiting beautiful cities, staying at 
       luxury hotels, eating in legendary restaurants, and 
       reminiscing about Winston Churchill and Franklin Roosevelt,
       among others, and famous movie stars like Rita Hayworth, 
       Laurence Olivier, Marlene Dietrich, Richard Burton, 
       Elizabeth Taylor, Charlton Heston and Steve McQueen. Set 
       against the backdrop of the student riots of '68, the 
       Vietnam War, the Manson killings, the rise of Roman 
       Polanski, the Iron Curtain, and Richard Nixon's presidency,
       Me and Mr Welles brings to life a fascinating period in 
       history ... and one of cinema's most charismatic 
       characters.
