Summary

With the approach of the 75th anniversary of Citizen Kane in May 2016, Harlan Lebo has written the full story of Orson Welles' masterpiece film. The book explores Welles' meteoric rise to stardom in New York, his contract with RKO Studios for total creative control and the deeper issues that impeded his work, the dispute over who wrote the script, the plot by Hearst to destroy Welles' project through blackmail, media manipulation, and other tactics, and the surprising emergence of Citizen Kane as an enduring masterpiece
