A film noir classic

Rating: Null/10 (4 March 2002)

I had to watch this film in one of my college classes, and thought it was a triumph in the department of using light and shadows, an absorbing script (the life of a cutthoat newspaper heir), classic performances, and I believe this was a breakthrough in the writer/director/producer/star in the movies. Orson Welles made a classic, and the Rosebud mystery will keep you guessing through the whole movie if you've never seen it before. One for the ages!
