An excellent
movie
directed by
Orson Wells
(Of "
War of the Worlds
" fame), and written by
Herman J. Mankiewicz
. Of interest:
The character Charles Foster Kane was based largely on William Randolph Hearst, a powerful man at the time.
Orson Wells insisted on having the word "
Rosebud
" in the movie, as he considered it the most important
niche
in showing off Hearst's life-style.
"Rosebud" was Hearst's nickname for pussy (Not as in cat, and I'm NOT kidding here), however that would NOT look good in a movie of that date, so "Rosebud" was changed to a sled.
William Randolph Hearst's last words were NOT "Rosebud".
During
post production
Welles had his
life
(not to mention the film) in danger of
death
many a time.
Due to the control Hearst held over the press industry, at certain locations the film was displayed outside in a
tent
.
Shortly after the relase of Citizen Kane, William Randolph Hearst went
bankrupt
to the tune of 18 million (Thats US funds too).
Citizen Kane was Orson Welles first film (prior to that he had only done
radio
).
The last film the RKO Studio produced was Citizen Kane.
