All I can say is the timing had better be perfect. If that dynamite went off too early....

WOW. What a way to start a movie! I couldn't take my eyes off the screen, knowing what was going to happen to that car.

*inspired*

That atonement shot is amazing. Do you know they only did that take three times. Good thing since the cameraman operating it feel down after the third time because of the exhaustion.

Another masterpiece of Welles' even though it was a bit "dark" for the time.

A three and a half minute single take... I wonder what Alfonso Cauron thinks of this.

This movie almost tops Citizen Kane - now that's an accomplishment.

almost... not quite though...

Orson Welles made too good a movie for his first film, he never could top Citizen Kane...

Nor could anyone else according to the critics and the polls...

It was all downhill from that film...
