HOLD THE FRONT PAGE!
Director: Orson Welles.
Starring: Joseph Cotton, Doronthy Comingore, Everett Sloane, Orson Welles, Agnes Moorehead.
United States, 1941.
119 mins. English
From the opening sequence, Orson Welles first film - the most famous debut in all cinema - is replete with stylistic tropes and flourishes which evoke the German cinema of the 20s and 30s. Long recognised as the ancestor of the modern sound film, the fragmented biography of an American newspaper magnate is as sophisticated in the aural as the visual dimension, marking the most striking technical and stylistic advances since Fritz Langs M. We present this landmark film in a restored version.
