Vintage print of the storyboard used in the production of one of the greatest movies of all time, 1941's ''Citizen Kane.'' This graphic contains a surprising amount of direction in the nine frames which illustrate the ''Roof Of Hospital'' scene in which Thompson, the reporter, interviews Jedediah Leland, Kane's former best friend. A schematic diagram for the scene's set design is included. Some of the captions read, ''Opening on a piece of architectural sculpturing Dolly to Right / Disclosing back of Thompson's head and Leland reclining / in deck chair as we travel as far as / mesh wire will permit - Cut to...'' and '' ...As we go back to him for / second part change angle to include Thompson and for / third part choose still different angle...'' Print measures 10'' x 8''. In pencil, ''Citizen Kane'' is handwritten near the bottom edge and two punch holes appear along left edge. Near fine. A rare artifact from ''Citizen Kane'''s conceptual stage.
