Citizen Kane

Stop press! Sara and Brendan mount the rostrum to eulogise Orson Welles’ obituary-themed opus, Citizen Kane. How did Welles get to Hollywood? Why did mid-century newsreaders talk like that? And who exactly is this “Rosebud” character? Plus a very special edition of poetry corner gets down and dirty in that deep romantic chasm which slanted down the green hill athwart a cedarn cover. We finish with some intriguing listener correspondence to clear up any nagging doubts about the use of wigs in cinema.  Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
