Citizen Kane

WHAT WENT WRONG

The greatest film ever made... that nearly never saw the light of day. Learn how Orson Welles and RKO fought off a megalomaniacal millionaire, lethal gossip columnists and a backstabbing co-writer in bringing Citizen Kane to life.

*CORRECTIONS:

*Chris refers to Kane as an orphan - this is technically wrong as Kane's mother voluntarily placed Kane under the guardianship of Walter Parks Thatcher when he was a young boy.
