Citizen Kane (RKO, 1941)...

Description

Citizen Kane (RKO, 1941) One Sheet (27" X 41"). Film critic Roger Ebert wrote, "It is one of the miracles of cinema that in 1941 a first-time director; a cynical, hard-drinking writer; an innovative cinematographer, and a group of New York stage and radio actors were given the keys to a studio and total control, and made a masterpiece." And this Orson Welles film is considered by many if not most critics, as voted the number one by the American Film Institute, as the best film ever made. "Casablanca" was voted number two on that same list. Offered in this lot is the style A one sheet in what has to be the best condition copy of this poster known to exist. This sheet has never been used or displayed and has only the most minor centerpoint separation and a one quarter inch tear in the left border which done while folded is seen four times on the unfolded poster. Near Mint/Mint.
