The rise of the reluctant millionaire, the titular Kane, set a permanent benchmark that Hollywood has struggled and mostly failed to reach ever since. I've no doubt that the assholes and wigs at Hollywood both love it and loathe it for the same reason. It's their pride and their albatross. It's still the finest début feature I've ever seen and is as enjoyable on the twentieth viewing as it was on the first. I could write a book on the things I love about it, but I won't because as every penniless film student knows there are more than enough of those available already.
