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".
