Stalin’s solution was to have Wayne killed by the KGB. Munn’s source for this information? None other than Orson Welles, who apparently recounted the story unprompted at a dinner in 1983. According to Munn, Russian filmmaker Alexei Kapler blabbed to fellow director Sergei Bonachuck about the order. Bonachuck, though sceptical at first, asked Gerisimov to confirm the tale. He did, and so Bonachuck told Welles.

this rocks lol
