Great? Yes. Greatest? No.

I saw this many years ago & on a big screen (the only way to see any truly great film) and was impressed that a movie so old (I was 16) could be so good. I won't rehash previous comments, but just wanted to re-iterate that while it should be among the top 100 films of all time, it is not the best.....nor is it Orson Welles' best. I recently saw "The Trial" on a big screen & was even more impressed with his rendition of Kafka's classic than I was with "Citizen Kane". "Citizen Kane" is a classic, while "The Trial" was truly revolutionary.
