Product Description

New remastered collector's edition including extraordinary collectables.

Orson Welles’ masterwork (number 1 in the American Film Institute’s list of Best American Movies) dazzles anew in a superb 75th-anniversary high-definition digital transfer. It’s grand entertainment, sharply acted (starting many of Welles’ Mercury Players on the road to thriving film careers) and directed with inspired visual flair. Chronicling the stormy life of an influential publishing tycoon, this Best Original Screenplay Academy Award winner (1941) is rooted in themes of power, corruption, vanity – the American Dream lost in the mystery of a dying man’s last word: “Rosebud.”
