Boards have light shelf-wear present to the extremities. No ownership marks present. Text is clean and free of marks. Binding tight and solid. This fabled essay about the making of, the inspirations of, the long life of, Citizen Kane, that greatest of all movies, is a delicious buffet of film analysis, Hollywood history, biography, American history, and much, much more. Kael’s analysis of the film is deep and contextual. She looks at the films that came before and after it, at the trends in society in media, at radio, at dialogue. She investigates the Hearst connection, she traces rosebud to a combination of Citizen Kane script author Herman Mankiewicz’s boyhood sled and boyhood bicycle which was stolen and mourned. She never misses an opportunity to throw in a good joke or anecdote about famous Hollywood personalities. Her observations are witty and brilliant; an example: “The movie industry is always frightened, and is always proudest of films that celebrate courage.” This is a book which will enrich your appreciation for “Citizen Kane” even as it can stand on its own as a great book on Hollywood.
