Citzen Kane

 Well, I can cross it off my list.

I enjoyed it quite a bit. I don't think I have anything particular meaningful to say here  I did see a spotlight on the gilded age. Opera, Newspapers, trust busting, schools in Switzerland and dalliances with dancers

Young Kane, shouts For the Union-in his log cabin

Florida seems dark and distant in Kane. A land of swamps and stone. Far away from the shining sea which Miami 

I am pretty sure the young lady who goes to the dentist is after cocaine

Kane's first wife  Who is the niece of the president, is beautiful. Her debut role I believe

Orson Welles is very tall. Or has he chosen shorter co stars, I am trying to remember now This is something that struck me  As aside from the Third Man I am used to seeing him sitting down, or gorged in later life. I quite liked his on stage persona, he is quite charismatic 

There is a lot of Orson Welles in Frasier Crane. Well if you are going to steal, steal from the best
