"Citizen Kane" is a classic film released in 1941. It is Directed by and stars Orson Welles. It is loosely based on William Randolph Hearst, a newspaper magnate. Hearst used the power of his papers in an attempt to ruin the film, at one point offering to buy the negative.

It also stars Joseph Cotten, Dorothy Comingore, Agnes Moorehead, Ruth Warrick, Everett Sloane.

"Citizen Kane" is freqently listed as one of the best films ever made.

Prior to this film, Welles was best known for directing the Mercury Theatre On the Air radio production of "War of the Worlds" which itself was infamous for fooling millions of Americans into thinking we really were being invading by aliens.
