AN AMERICAN CINEMA CLASSIC 

NOW ON THE BIG SCREEN AT THE WRIGHT

Thus begins, what we hope is a new tradition of screening at least one classic during our season.  Citizen Kane is often cited as being one of the most innovative works in the history of film. In 1997, the American Film Institute placed it at number one in its list of the 100 greatest U.S. movies of all time. [More from Wikipedia]

Synopsis: An unstable dad gets out of a mental institution and tries to continue his relationship with his daughter. She has become self-sufficient and he is just a hindrance to that.
