Someone to Love is a 1987 comedy film directed by Henry Jaglom. It was Orson Welles' final live action film appearance,[1] released two years after his death but produced before his voice-over in The Transformers: The Movie, his final film performance.
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. The filmmaker invites numerous single friends, including his brother, the real estate agent who sold the theater to a developer who is going to build a modern shopping mall, to the party and then quizzes them on camera about their lives, failed relationships, intimacy issues, and loneliness.
Walter Goodman of The New York Times wrote in his review, "If you haven't been in a roomful of chatter about relationships lately and are aching for the experience, Someone to Love may be just the cure. Watching this latest effort of Henry Jaglom, who makes movies that feature his friends and relatives, is the next best thing to being trapped in a 1960's encounter session with people you'd just as soon not encounter."[3]
