"The Citizen Kane Crash Course in Cinematography"

[NoFake]

Has anyone caught up with this quirky book?

I'm not sure what to make of it. The guy seems to have done his homework -- not being a filmmaker or course-taking film student myself, I can't vouch for its accuracy in that department, but it's garnered kudos from the likes of John Badham, Dennis Hopper and Roger Corman -- and it IS a hoot. Would love to know what my fellow Wellesians think.

"keats" started a discussion on this book a while back:

It sounds like good entertainment, but perhaps speculative in describing the actual techniques Toland and Welles used in their film and (intentionally) ficticious in regards to their actual relationship.

Ah! Thanks, Roger. I agree with both your and Keats' appraisal. Guess I was away when the subject came up.
