Citizen Kane, the classic 1941 Orson Welles (nominated for the Best Director Academy Award for this film) biographical newspaper journalism melodrama ("Some called him a hero... Others called him a heel"; "It's Terrific!"; loosely based on the life of William Randolph Hearst; nominated for the Best Picture Academy Award; many people consider it the finest movie ever made) starring Orson Welles (nominated for the Best Actor Academy Award for this film; in the title role as Charles Foster Kane), with the members of Welles' "Mercury Actors", who had previously acted with him on stage, Joseph Cotten (as Jedediah Leland), Dorothy Comingore (as Susan Alexander Kane), Everett Sloane (as Mr. Bernstein), Ray Collins (as Jim W. Gettys), George Coulouris (as Walter Parks Thatcher), Agnes Moorehead (as Mary Kane, Kane's mother), Paul Stewart (as Raymond), Ruth Warrick (as Emily Monroe Norton Kane), Erskine Sanford (as Herbert Carter), William Alland (as Jerry Thompson), Fortunio Bonanova (as Signor Matiste), Buddy Swan (as Kane at age 8), Harry Shannon (as Kane's father), and Alan Ladd (in one of his early incredibly tiny parts, but he does have a single speaking line!)

If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know.
Important Added Info: This three-sheet was printed in 2 sections, which were taped together.

Condition: good. Someone put a lot of silver duct tape on the back of the poster (mostly along folds). They also put a lot of clear tape on the backs of other folds, and there are tears and some small areas of paper loss on some folds. They also put duct tape on the back of the top border, extending past the top border (no doubt so they could display the poster on a wall). THE POSTER IS IN MUCH LESSER CONDITION, AND URGENTLY NEEDS EXPERT RESTORATION. Please do not bid on the poster unless you have carefully read the above and have studied our super-sized image, and can either accept this poster as it is, or are willing to pay to have it professionally restored.
