Description

Citizen Kane (RKO, 1941). Program (Multiple Pages). One of the most important and influential movies ever made, this was the first feature film released by auteur Orson Welles, who co-wrote, directed, produced and starred in this landmark picture. Frequently cited as the finest American film ever made, this movie tells the story of Charles Foster Kane, a wealthy movie magnate based loosely on the life of William Randolph Hearst. This was the beginning of an illustrious career in film for Welles, and an enduring classic in the annals of cinema, especially as it also marks the screen debuts of such illustrious actors as Agnes Moorehead, Joseph Cotton, Everett Sloane and Ruth Warwick, all of whom had worked with Welles previously in the Mercury Theater. Offered here is the Souvenir Program Booklet, produced for the original release of the movie, which includes a profile of Welles, highlights from the film, cast credits, and more. In exceptional condition, it shows some very light edge wear on the cover, as well as a light corner ding in the upper right which affects the cover and the first few interior pages. There is also a small scuff mark on the cover at the right center. Other than those small flaws, the booklet is extremely clean and attractive, and will make a fine addition to any vintage movie collection. Very Fine+.
