Citizen Kane (RKO, 1941). Lobby Card (11  X 14 )
Citizen Kane (RKO, 1941). Lobby Card (11" X 14"). Director Orson Welles was only 25 years old when he was given free reign at RKO to create a motion picture of his own desire. The result was Citizen Kane and to this day, it is still heralded by critics as the greatest motion picture ever made. The film almost never saw light of day, however, when it was discovered that the plot was loosely based on the life of publisher William Randolph Hearst. The studios were so afraid of Hearst that they offered to buy the prints from RKO and destroy them forever! This pivotal scene from the film features Welles as the publishing magnate Charles Foster Kane. Very Fine-. Important notice: Heritage usually auctions material at the rate of 200-250 lots per hour. On some occasions eBay Live bid software or the Internet may not be able to keep up with the pace of the auction. We recommend placing a realistic absentee bid now as insurance to avoid disappointment. Occasionally the auctioneer may eliminate or reject an eBay Live bid, and the auctioneer may also reopen a lot after the close of the eBay live bidding (usually because we missed an audience bid), and may reject your bid even if it shows you as the winning bidder. By bidding via eBay Live, you agree that Heritage may award the lot to another bidder at its sole discretion under the circumstances described above or any other reasonable circumstances.
