Book Presentation:
This book includes Citizen Kane’s shooting script but is primarily notable for including Kael’s 50,000-word essay “Raising Kane,” which first ran in back-to-back issues of The New Yorker in 1971. In it she argues that Herman J. Mankiewicz, not Orson Welles, deserved primary credit for the film’s screenplay. Her claims, which were fueled by Welles ex-pal John Houseman, were later challenged by a host of other journalists.
