CAST REVIEWS Review by anonymous (posted on 18-Mar-2006) Many people say that this is the
greatest movies ever made. They would not be wrong. Citizen Kane
defiantly is one of the best movies ever made. The film follows a young
reporter (William Alland) who is sent out to find the meaning of a
great newspaperman�s last word �Rosebud�. The newspaperman�s name is
Charles Foster Kane (Orson Welles). The reporter comes in contact with
Kane�s second wife Susan (Dorothy Comingore), his two business partners
Jed (Joseph Cotten), and Mr. Bernstein (Everett Slone). The fil's
ending will leave you speechless. With great writing by Welles and
Herman J. Mankiewicz, great cinematography by Gregg Toland, great
editing by Robert Wise, and great directing from Welles, Citizen Kane
is a must see for movie fans.
