Citizen Kane Blu-Ray

Orson Welles makes his feature film directorial debut with this classic drama, which often tops critics' polls of the best films of all time. In 1940, newspaper magnate 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 words, and during his investigations he hears different stories about 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 loosely based on the life of newspaper magnate William Randolph Hearst.
