You might enjoy this documentary on the making of Citizen Kane....Wells was deliberately making this film to make the statements that it did ...in the documentary he speaks of this.
I didn’t see Citizen Kane until I picked it up at a sale....had no clue what it was but my mother spoke of Orson Welles so I picked it up....fascinating film to be sure!
