Welles thought that the film had been cursed. Speaking about the production in the second episode of his 1955 BBC-TV series "Orson Welles' Sketch Book", Welles said that a voodoo doctor who had been preparing a ceremony for "It's All True" was deeply offended at the film being terminated. Welles found his script pierced completely through with a long needle. "And to the needle was attached a length of red wool. This was the mark of the voodoo," Welles said. "And the end of that story is that it was the end of the film. We were never allowed to finish it."
