Orson Welles' great film based on the life of William Randolph Hearst. A film about wealth and power and the moral corruption that can sometimes accompany them. Generally regarded as the greatest American film of the sound era. Kane's stature as a film has assumed some of the qualities of "great books" -- people avoid seeing the film like they avoid reading Moby Dick or they are intimidated by the reputation. And often, they are disappointed. What's so good about this movie? More people would identify with Casablanca because its pleasures are so much more obvious. It is difficult to tell the casual film watcher what makes Citizen Kane (or any great film) so thrilling a work -- of how it changed the nature of film. Even the greatest film critics don't agree. There are two writings on the film that we would recommend as different points of reference -- Pauline Kael's Raising Kane and Otis Ferguson's review from the New Republic printed in The Film Criticism of Otis Ferguson. With: Welles as Kane and also with: Joseph Cotton, Dolores Del Rio, Agnes Moorehead, Ray Collins, Everett Hale and Dorothy Commigore. Notes: Screenplay by Welles and Herman J. Mankiewicz. Photographed by Gregg Toland. Music by Bernard Herrmann. Edited by Robert Wise and Mark Robson. Art direction by Van Nest Polglase. Mankiewicz's script received an Oscar. Academy Award nominations for best picture, actor (Welles), cinematography, interior decoration, sound, and editing. Citizen Kane, available on vhs, and CLV laser disk, is also available on a CAV interactive laser disk that allows the viewer to freeze frames. The CAV's greatest features are the excellent text provided to accompany the complete film taken from Robert Carrington's excellent book on Citizen Kane. Part of the Criterion series of interactive laser programs that make classic film titles available in well designed and structured "instructional" packages.
