Good morning!
An interesting article in The Guardian relating to Citizen Kane, WRH and a forthcoming book.

"I don't care how many books or articles you've read on Orson Welles or the movie "Citizen Kane," this is a must-read for anyone interested in film history and/or the creative process. Harlan Lebo has, in my opinion, written the definitive work on "Kane" and filmmaker Welles. Both the movie and the man are American classics. I initially found this book on the new non-fiction shelf at the public library. I borrowed it and, after looking it over, immediately returned it because I wanted to own the book for my Kindle. This happens when I discover a "keeper," I purchased the electronic book from Amazon that very day and the Kindle formatted volume matches the printed book word-for-word and has all the photographs, which display nicely on my PaperWhite. I highly recommend it to anyone interested in films and film-making." - Wordchipper

Harlan Lebo (Citizen Kane: A Filmmaker’s Journey) has uncovered hundreds of differences between the Orson Welles / Herman Mankiewicz final script and what ended up on the screen — changes he says that made Citizen Kane the greatest film ever made.
