When I was in college in the early 60’s there was a film appreciation club I joined and this was one of its choices. I knew nothing of the film and now 50 + years later it still is my favorite movie of all time. The editing and cinematography cannot be beat. Within a few moments the years long disintegration of a marriage is shown so sharply in the view of a breakfast table. It is remarkable that Hearst unsuccessfully tried to have the film destroyed but fortunately failed. what a loss that would have been

The greatest achievement in film history. One of my favorite films of all time. I love how Orson Welles tells a story by cinematography, amazing direction, editing & filmmaking techniques that influenced cinema.

What a great film. It deserves all the acclaim it gets. The cinematography and ideas in 1941 is brilliant, way beyond its time.

Awesome editing for citizen Kane! Fun movie fact: Orson Welles made this movie as a critical commentary on William Randolph Hearst, the head of newspapers and the reason behind the “War of the Worlds controversy”, which almost threatened Welles’ career. So Welles made this movie to get back at Hearst. So Hearst tried everything to get this movie banned but it was fortunately shown in tents and became the most respected cinematic masterpieces ever made.

The same Hearst, who was the villain in Deadwood?
