Ohmagoodness! My Parents have wanted to see this since they were children (but weren't allowed). Can't wait to tell them. I think the Chandelier scene is the origin of my Mom's obsession with Crystal Chandeliers. Thanks for uploading!

@billy1212ist I am, in fact, a native Londoner and used the americanism 'rip-off' simply because I was quoting another post and would not personally have used the word in this context. The term means the same to me as it appears to mean to you. Castilian Spanish, mercifully, does not use as many foreign words as some other European languages such as German, the worst example, and would say "plagio" (cf. plagiarism). I think his last word referred to the sledge, a symbol of his innocent youth.

@Hendrikdevuile * Immortal Story-- did not see it.I know it is on the bottom of his snow sled.When he utters Rosebud,in the end of the film,is it his youth that is his last thought? Or did he have a thing for sleds ?Or was it what he called his girlfriends nipple ?

@Hendrikdevuile Single quotation marks,were 'intended' by you,to imply your being dubious about it's use in the post.Ah,now I see.But in not having read the post,it seemed it was your feeling also.Julius Caesar is a comment,and Play about history.I think that the problem here is how you in Spain use the term "Rip-Off",and the way I in NYC use the term.To me it is a shoddy copy,which has a negative feeling to it.Or 'cheated' someone,or taken from,not in the form of copied,but to steal from.

@billy1212ist Placing the term 'rip-off' in single quotation marks was intended to imply that I was dubious about its use in the post I was responding to: one might as well say that Shakespeare's "Julius Caesar" is a 'rip-off' from Roman history. I am very familiar with the background to the making of "Citizen Kane" and the significance of "Rosebud" (which incident btw Welles reprised in his death scene at the end of "The Immortal Story" with Jeanne Moreau in 1968).

@Onlymusical *Hotel rooms were expensive,and had one purpose on a Friday Night.Those with 2 beds,only 1 was used,he would give me the "Key"for FREE,as they would not be "made-up" till the next day.Even on a Sunday afternoon he had a room for me.I lived in the Bronx but hung out in Manhattan,at 20 years old,I picked up many girls,he always had a spot for me.Otherwise he told me stories,a nice guy.He ended up a night desk man in a small Hotel,alone.But what a time he had,he blew all his money too.

@Hendrikdevuile *A lesson in life,"Learn before you speak."When you say"rip-off",is to do what take?See the film buffs know better.Hearst,first learn about him.Welles as many,did not like him and his Czar like control of the Media.Welles wanted to expose the Czar for what he was.Hearst said,NO DON'T,I will ruin you.He made it very,hard for Orson,stopping funds etc.Welles a genius,did it,with new angle shots etc.Hearst ruined him,he got no work in Hollywood for 20 years.His Rosebud,was his girl.

@billy1212ist Wow, that's fantastic that Ladd had a lookalike friend that did his signings and partied with him, an instant twin brother. Never knew that and it's amazing! Are there any photos of the two of them floating around? I've looked online but haven't turned any up.
