A reporter is assigned to investigate Charles Foster Kane’s last words before he died. Rosebud! The reporter slowly pieces together the newspaper tycoon’s life. One piece of the puzzle after the other falls into place, yet know one knows the meaning of Rosebud.

Know one knew the meaning of Rosebud and neither did I. I liked the movie, but would not consider it to be the best of the best (#1 on the AFI’s 100 Movies). The story was engaging, the characters interesting, and the dialog at times was very witty. For a 1941 movie, the special effects and make-up was exceptional.

An interesting fact, Steven Spielberg bought the sled, “Rosebud”, for $60,500. Well’s response, “I thought we burned it…”1
