The complete screenplay of one of the world's most famous and
controversial films "A definitive chronicle of the making of the
film" Sheridan Morley, Films & Filming This is the complete
companion to Citizen Kane - the film that was "designed to shock"
(Kenneth Tynan) - one of the best-loved and best-known movies in
the history of Hollywood and still the most staggering film debut
ever. Not only was this Orson Welles's first film as actor and
director but most of the cast were also new to the cinema. Yet so
controversial was the subject matter that an $842,000 bribe and the
concentrated wrath of the Hearst newspaper empire combined in an
attempt to strangle its distribution. And the authorship of the
film is still a subject of conflict. Pauline Kael's long essay,
"Raising Kane", dissects a maze of Hollywood lore to re-evaluate
these and many other fascinating stories about the making of this
remarkable film. Her account is followed by the original
screenplay, illustrated with stills and frame enlargements.
"Citizen Kane revolutionised film-making, and the question of its
authorship is as important to the cinema as that of Hamlet to the
theatre ...Pauline Kael explains how the picture came to be made
and concludes that the man most responsible for its creation was
not Welles but Herman J. Mankiewicz" Kenneth Tynan, Observer
