## Description

Orson Welles makes his feature-length directorial debut with this classic drama which often tops critics' polls of the best films of all time. In 1940, newspaper tycoon Charles Foster Kane (Welles) dies after uttering the word 'Rosebud'. An anonymous reporter (William Alland) is assigned the task of uncovering the meaning of Kane's dying word, and in the course of his enquiries he receives varying accounts of his life from former colleagues Jedediah Leland (Joseph Cotten) and Bernstein (Everett Sloan), and ex-wife Susan Alexander (Dorothy Comingore). The film, which Welles also produced and co-wrote, was not-so-loosely based on the life of newspaper magnate William Randolph Hearst.

Review: Best Film Ever! - Probably the best film ever made!Every film buff should have this in there collection.Well worth the money,I never get tired of this film,Orson Welles was a genius,shame he peaked too soon,but at least we have this.If you don't know what the fuss is about buy it,if you do still worth having.
Review: A fine restoration of the movie, but very poor so-called "extras"! - There are many blu-ray editions of this movie and this is one of the cheaper ones. That said, the quality of the restoration is outstanding. What is a huge letdown are the so-called "extras". There is hardly anything included. "Interviews" are only 2/3 minutes long!

There are many blu-ray editions of this movie and this is one of the cheaper ones. That said, the quality of the restoration is outstanding. What is a huge letdown are the so-called "extras". There is hardly anything included. "Interviews" are only 2/3 minutes long!

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ THIS IS THE DEFINITIVE VERSION
*by G***M on 23 October 2016*

When a newspaper tycoon dies, everybody is trying to find out what his last word means. This Warner Bros. release is the one to buy! After the abysmal Universal release, which was dire, and one of the worst blu ray transfers ever, this release is superior in every way. There is not a blemish in sight, and all of the problems of the Universal release have gone. Yes it's missing the documentary's of the U.S. release, but the superior quality far outweighs that, and it appears to have the same restored transfer as the one that Warner Bros. released in the U.S. Picture Quality is superb, and has been transferred in it's original aspect ratio of 1.37:1. Sound is in the original mono. If you have the Universal blu ray, and are a fan of this movie, then it is definitely worth buying this version. You won't regret it.
