| Summary |
Film critic Robert McKee takes issue with the popular notion that Citizen Kane is "the greatest film ever made." Accusing Orson Welles' creation of promoting style over substance, McKee examines the film's content, style, plot, and emotional impact. Numerous clips of the film are used as examples, and several other film critics state their views of the piece. |
