Citizen Kane - Original Souvenir Program Book - Orson Welles - '41

Description

Citizen Kane - Original Souvenir Program Book - Orson Welles - '41 - Rare
Program that could be purchased in the theatres during the release of this incredible film.  During the time of release it was not received well, in part due to the power of William Randolph Hearst (who the movie was based off) and his media empire.  In time this masterpiece was recognized for what it really was, incredibly innovative, ahead of its time, and PERFECT.
One of the greatest movies of all time, this program book is an important part of its history and the history of cinema really.  With the exception of the Hateful Eight in the winter of '15, these brochures have not been a part of the movie going experience for decades and they were an integral part of it for the first thirty years of the industry.
This program is in really good condition.  It is only missing the gold tassel, which were typically lost or thrown away.
It measures 9" X 12" and contains 20 pages in total.  Pictured is the cover, the back, and one of the inside pages (this one being the centerfold).  the inside pages highlight some production of the film, details about Welles, along with the other important Characters/Actors of the film.  Its a beauty and highly collectable.   Condition is good with only some minor edge wear.
Program is securely double-wrapped (seen in photos) and ready to ship.  Will be sent in a very strong, secure package to protect the condition of this item.
