The seldom seen British Arena special “The Complete Citizen Kane” has made its way to YouTube.com, courtesy of online video poster Citizen Welles.
The 91-minute documentary opens with a faux, but effective, “Heart of Darkness” and includes BBC interviews with Orson Welles filmed in 1960 and 1982. Also interviewed are Peter Bogdanovich and Pauline Kael.
“The Complete Citizen Kane,” first shown in 1991, is also the only place where you can see the “colorized” test footage created by Ted Turner.
We have embedded the complete YouTube video below. (No guarantee how long it will be available).
A very special thanks to Alan Nowogrodzki for alerting us to this.
