Citizen Kane Part 2 (41:59)
The Kane chat continues in the second half of our 27th AFI Top 100 movie! This time we talk about Orson Welles as the quadruple-threat artist and his ultra-talented cast & collaborators. We also open up the Top 100 emailbag and address the Sight & Sound’s 2012 poll because they knocked Kane out of its six-decade perch as numero uno on their own illustrious list. This is AFI’s pinnacle, so get your #1 on and rejoice in what they say is the finest achievement in American filmosity in the history of time and space! Also, if you missed Part I, hit that link and check ‘er out.
Re: trivia question: Kane, ‘The Godfather Part II,’ and ‘The Bridge in the River Kwai’ all finished in the same spots in ’98 and ’07.
You got half of that right. I won’t say which one.
OK, I just re-read your Vintage Review of the ’07 list and saw where I went wrong. Man, I’ve got the memory of a 40-year-old.
Oh, did I say it in there?
You did!
