Hitchcock is mentioned a lot in relation to Jim - I see it and agree yet I don't think Orson Welles is mentioned enough in that same context. I assume you're trying to stress "under-recognized" based on achievment and Welles won Oscars... In any case, a lot of the recognition for Bat has shifted (even in the States) toward Jim in the last decade...and hopefully "Jim Steinman's Bat Out Of Hell - The Music Cycle" will bring Jim the recognition he's due. That said, he's a humble guy that's happy when his art is recognized even if he isn't.
