'Someone to Love' is a 1987 comedy film directed by Henry Jaglom. It was Orson Welles' final live action film appearance, released after his death but produced before his voice-over in 'The Transformers: The Movie', his final film performance.
The film was screened in the Un Certain Regard section at the 1987 Cannes Film Festival.
Plot
The film is a pseudo-documentary about a filmmaker who throws a Valentine's Day party at an old theater that is about to be demolished.
