Orson Welles inspired Enamel Pin

In 1982, Orson Welles was asked a question about Kazan at the Cinémathèque française in Paris. Welles replied,

"Chère mademoiselle, you have chosen the wrong metteur en scène, because Elia Kazan is a traitor. He is a man who sold to McCarthy all his companions at a time when he could continue to work in New York at high salary, and having sold all his people to McCarthy, he then made a film called On the Waterfront which was a celebration of the informer.

And therefore no question which uses him as an example can be answered by me.

I have to add, I have to add that he is a very good director"

Orson Welles following the haters code of never saying someone you hate is bad at something they're good at.
