Raising 'Kane'

It needed 71 years, but "Citizen Kane" is finally going to Hearst Castle. The San Luis Obispo film fest has skedded a Hollywood to Hearst Castle event for March 9 including two tests of Orson Welles' landmark pic inspired with the erstwhile who is the owner of San Simeon. Harrison Ford and photog Timothy White-colored will start in the festivities by flying into Hearst Ranch's private airfield, much like William Randolph Hearst's Hollywood pals accustomed to. Wendy Eidson, fest professional director, mentioned: "We'd been trying to perform a celebration together for any very long time then when I suggested showing 'Citizen Kane' as kind of an account, they didn't laugh. You have to showed up at to Harrison Ford, as they flies their very own plane, which he believe it is a powerful way to recognition Timothy White-colored." Great-grand boy Steve Hearst, a veep of Hearst Corp., states the tests might help place "Kane" within the proper context. " 'Citizen Kane' can be a classic American film but is certainly a previously accurate depiction of William Randolph Hearst or his favorite place in the world, his ranch."
