Reviews
"Here's another book that overcame my skepticism. What didn't I already know about Orson Welles and Citizen Kane? Quite a bit, it turns out--and high time for a refresher. This welcome update and expansion of a 1990 book in trade paperback form tells the whole story of Welles and his notorious debut film in a concise and straightforward manner. He settles the Herman Mankiewicz screenplay kerfuffle in short order, as the final shooting script lacks dialogue and entire scenes that Welles added or invented at the last minute."--Leonard Maltin (2/18/2022 12:00:00 AM)
