It’s a great film. Orson Welles was only 25 when he made it. I was a teenager when I saw it and I was shocked. I only knew Welles as this fat guy doing Paul Masson commercials.

You’d have to know the film to get this tweet about Bernstein

So many great "Citizen Kane" strips in "Peanuts"–this one, from December 9, 1973, was always my favorite. It's the start of spoiler culture. pic.twitter.com/L61ngRsnE6

CITIZEN KANE was released 80 years ago today. Here's the transition where Orson Welles takes us inside a photograph with one dissolve. Incredible, especially for the time. pic.twitter.com/PQy8uSj5DE
