begins a season of films by one of the most original and influential talents in cinema history.
Starring Orson Welles, with Joseph Cotten, Agnes Moorehead, Dorothy Comingore, Everett Sloane

After more than 40 years Orson Welles' first feature film, made at the age of 25, is still regarded by many as the finest film ever made. As director, Welles breaks every rule; as actor he is stunning in the role of the newspaper magnate who becomes rich and famous, then finds his career threatened by scandal.
"Here is a man who could have been President, who was as loved and hated and as talked about as any man in our time, but when he comes to die, he's got something on his mind called Rosebud. Now what does that mean?"
