It's All True

Several factors contributed to the demise of It's All True (1943). Among them:

• The poor test audience results for Orson Welles' sophomore RKO film, Soberba (1942).
• The resignation of Welles ally George Schaefer as RKO president, and Nelson Rockefeller's departure from the RKO board of directors.
• The use of black and mixed race people in It's All True was a source of concern at RKO.
• Welles' interest in depicting the lives of the poor was hardly the commercial travelogue Brazilian dictator Getúlio Vargas might have wanted.

There is an Italian edition of this film on DVD, distributed by DNA srl, "GHOST STORY (Four Men on a Raft, 1941 + Return to Glennascaul, 1951) + TRE CASI DI ASSASSINIO (3 casi di omicidio, 1954)" (2 Films on a single DVD), re-edited with the contribution of film historian Riccardo Cusin. This version is also available for streaming on some platforms.
