Multimillionaire newspaper tycoon Charles Foster Kane (Orson Welles) dies alone in his extravagant mansion, Xanadu, speaking a single word: "Rosebud". In an attempt to figure out the meaning of this word, a reporter tracks down the people who worked and lived with Kane. They tell their stories in a series of flashbacks that reveal much about Kane's life, but not enough to unlock the riddle of his dying breath.
Directed by: Orson Welles.
Cast: Joseph Cotten, Ruth Warrick, Ray Collins, Dorothy Comingore, George Coulouris, Everett Sloane, Agnes Moorehead, Erskine Sanford, Paul Stewart, Orson Welles.
Release Date: May 1, 1941.
nobody heard last word 'rosebud' when he died, what makes the whole story of this magnificent and technically brilliant masterpiece senseless.

"Rosebud" was a dig at W.R.Hearst's petname for Marion Davies's clitoris. x :)

Orson's unique sensibility comes through in this trailer. It's very unusual, and has a strange sort of energy.
I love the way he says "a swell guy" and "a dirty dog".
