This book was a birthday gift from Angi, and I say thank you yet again as this is one of my favorite subjects. So, this book examines the hearst/welles face off (such that it was) back when Kane was released. It's pretty clear which side Walsh falls on, but he goes a little more in depth on the subject than I've read before.

Whether Hearst is the reason Welles wasn't as successful as he should've been or if Welles was just too difficult is really not the point. The point is that Citizen Kane is the finest movie ever made and if you disagree I will CUT YOU. To the white meat. Slice and dice, bitch.
