CITIZEN KANE C9min****(1941)D:Orson Welles.Orson Welles,Joseph Cotten,Dorothy Comingore,Agnes Moorehead, Ruth Warrick,Everett Sloane,Ray Collins,Erskine Sanford, William Alland.Welles's masterful triumph,and a landmark in cinema history.The tale of newspaper baron (based on William Randolph Hearst)whose wealth and fame lead him to isolation. All of everything on the film is first rate (the deep focus photography by Gregg Toland),musical score (by Bernard Herrmann) and Oscar-winning screenplay (in discontinuous narrative by Herman Mankiewicz). One of the greatest movies ever made and Welles was 25 years old when he made it.Alan Ladd and Arthur O'Connell as reporters.
