Tonight's film from the cinema's hall of fame stars Orson Welles
with Joseph Cotten, Agnes Moorehead

Orson Welles's first film, made at the age of 25, is the story of a newspaper magnate who rises to great wealth and eminence and then finds his career threatened by a personal scandal.
As director, Welles breaks almost every rule in the textbook; as actor, he gives a powerful portrayal of Citizen Kane. And more than 30 years later the superlatives are still being written about a masterpiece which is unlike any film before or since.
