About this title

From Library Journal:

In this volume, illustrated by over 100 never-before-published photographs, Lebo chronicles the intricacies of this masterpiece's creation. Also included is a detailed account of RKO Studio's imbroglio with William Randolph Hearst, upon whom the character of Charles Foster Kane was based. Hearst exercised his formidable wealth and power as a newspaper magnate to halt Citizen Kane 's initial production and later release. With 1991 marking the film's 50th anniversary, there will be additional interest in Citizen Kane , so libraries should be sure to have this on their shelves and also stock up on the video: despite the passage of years this remains on everyone's "best" list.
