Game Plan
Erich Pilcher on the making of Citizen Kane.
Well, I was always called when I was young as the self styled genius.
All I heard about was the self styled genius. So that's what I
took seriously, that I was styling myself a genius. And you know,
anybody can do that. Toast Jedediah to love on my terms? Was it
the only terms anybody ever knows? You know, my first picture would never
have been made, never in a million years, if the producer had lived
in Hollywood, had any knowledge of Hollywood. It was a total accident,
total piece of luck, like winning six hundred thousand dollars from a quarter in
a jackpot. And it couldn't go on. And I knew that because they
took my next picture away from me and butchered the end of it. I
was going to show them that they were wrong. And I have spent the
rest of my life showing people trying to prove that what is said is wrong.
And that's been an enormous waste of spirit and of energy. That's a
mistake that will be corrected one of these dates. Well, I've always hated
Hollywood, but I hate almost everything in the modern world, and Hollywood is
simply the most pleasant place to live in left. I don't know how to
run a newspaper, mister Thatcher. I just try everything I can think of
it. You know, I am a romantic, and I was a romantic
in the early nineteenth century way. I wanted every experience, every kind of
thing, and so I went to Hollywood in that spirit, and I should
have left in that spirit. There's only one person in the world to decide
what I'm going to do, and that's me. I don't believe there is
any wisdom and compromise unless you're a politician. And to the extent that movies
are politics, I don't belong in movies. My pictures don't work at all
unless they work my way. It's not because I think they're better that way.
They simply fall apart unless they're done my way. So it isn't nobility,
it's a self protection. You're right, mister Thatcher. I did lose
a million dollars last year. I expect to lose a million dollars this year.
I expect to lose a million dollars next year. You know, mister
Thatcher. At the rate of a million dollars a year, I have to
close this place in sixty years. Ask anybody of my age what they feel
about themselves when they're young, I think you'll get a very waffly answer.
I think of myself of having been an awfully nice fellow then, and I
may have blacked out, you know, whole sections of dreadful behavior, but
I've genuinely blocked them out. I don't remember them. I just see myself
as an angelically movie from one show. I think I did pretty well under
the circumstances. I am going to make King Lear and a picture called The
Dreamers, and I'll go on saying that until I don't. But it looks
as though it's going to happen. But you know, I've had a wonderful,
fascinating life. I can't complain. I'm the luckiest person I know,
and I'd rather be remembered as a good guy than as a difficult genius.
Those words you just heard were from legendary actor, director, and personal all
time favorite of this host Orson Wells. That clip was filmed by Entertainment Tonight,
one week prior to the death of Wells. It's reflective and we can
hear subtle regrets he has, most particularly with his first film, Citizen Kane.
Our story begins in nineteen thirty eight when orson wells radio telling of War
of the World's caused NASS hysteria. Because of this, RKO Picture studiohead George
Schaeffer wanted to work with Wells because he commanded attention. Wells was facing monumental
debt due to the failure of his most two recent plays, so he took
the Landmark deal for one hundred thousand dollars for two pictures in full creative control.
In July of nineteen thirty nine, he began work on his first feature
film that would look at a man that had wealth and power, but his
inability to love, care, and be open to emotion shelters him and limits
his happiness. That film would be Citizen Kane, and to this day there
is controversy surrounding it. It is still unknown if Wells made this film as
an attack against then media mogul William Randolph Hurst. To make the film,
Wells borrought on Hermann Mankowitz to help write the script, and Greg Toland,
a cinematographer. In our next clip from a nineteen seventy interview on The Dick
Cabot Show, Wells discusses making his first film, the issues with Hurst in
the studio and other aspects of note though here how charming Wells can be in
self depreciating. That is one of the things that allowed Wells to get away
with so much and keep some people in the studio behind him during the filming
of this film twenty six years old, and you made Citizen Kane and they
said, you can't do these things. You can't have the background in focus
or whatever it was, or you can't shoot a scene that way, mister
Wells or young mister Wells or orson or whatever they call you then and you
knew that you could. And how did you know this? Because I didn't
know any better. And it's very much in the line with what Jack was
saying earlier in the show. It's comes from from just, you know,
sheer dumbness. You're sure it's got to be your good and your gratia's ignorance.
There's no authority in the world like it. But there's there's got to
be something more than that. Technically, I mean, how did you know
that? You know technically that the whole bag of movies can be learned in
about a day and a half. Hey, kids, you not now how
does it work? How do you do it? You get a guy who
knows and then ask him and that's the end of it. It isn't much
harder than taking home movies. It's just about three points finder. And all
these guys who do it try to make a big mystery of it because that's
they're living. And I have the right to say it because I had in
my first picture in Kane, the greatest cameraman who ever lived was Greg Toland,
and he came to my office and said, I want to work in
your picture. My name is Toland. I said, why do you,
mister Toland? He said, because you've never made a picture and you don't
know what cannot be done. And so I said, but I really don't.
Can you tell me? Says, there's nothing to it. He gave
me the day and a half lessons and he was right, camera, that's
right, it has nothing to do. And so we had the day and
a half and there it was. But the only thing was I've been directing
in the theater for years and I nowadays they have lighting people. We did
them, and I had some of the greatest lighting people in fact, I
think, but many of the shows I lit myself, and I was supervised
at and I thought a director did that in a movie. So for the
first ten days I was more moving the lights around, you see, and
Toland was behind me, fixing it up and changing the readings and saying,
shut up, let him go on. I want to see what he's up
to, which was very chic of him, I think. And then somebody,
somebody told me, and then I went and got on my knees and
apologized and everything. I thought, that's what the directors did. Because if
you see a picture by Ford, for example, you were speaking of Jack
Ford earlier, he said must be in a hundred cameraman in his long career,
and almost every forward picture you can tell from the look of it that
it's a forward picture, just from the physical look of it. His his
signature is on it, you know. And when every every list of great
films, of course that many of them lead with Citizen Kane and say it's
it's the finest film made, do you agree? No, certainly not My
next one is that's no, not the not the one after that, the
one I'm preparing at this moment, or the next one that's going to make
history. Could you give us the title of that. I have decided what
it is yet. Oh now, could I just check one other thing with
you? Is it true that the Hearsts tried to actually have the film destroyed
before it was They tried to have it destroyed. They even tried to frame
me one well, in one town, I was doing some kind of date
I don't know what, bond tour, lecture, some kind of a gig,
and I was in a nightclub afterwards, waiting to go back to my
hotel. I will supper and waiter count says, as a police officer wants
to see you. Well, I tried to hide because if that ever happens,
I'm sure I'm guilty. I don't know how you are about it,
but you know. And then I see a cop. I know I did
it. There was no way out of it. I had to go see
him. And he took me aside and he said, Austin, I don't
know why they almost call me. He says, don't go back to your
hotel room. I said why. He says, they've got a minor staked
out there and a photographer, a lady. Luckily a lady. I think
I prefer to tell it that way, but I mean as opposed to r
and they were going to frame me. I would have been in jail if
the you know, with the cops waiting to jump in and arrest me.
That was not mister Hurst itself. It was somebody in that town who thought
he'd get in good with the boss by doing by doing a favorite. I
don't think Hurst would have stooped to that, would you change? Oh.
I did have a conversation with him about about the picture, which was in
an elevator in San Francisco the night had opened. We found ourselves going up
together, and he'd known my father. I never met him, you know,
And I introduced myself things you'll do when you're young, you know,
And I said, would you like to come to the opening tonight? And
he didn't answer, and I said, well, mister Kane would have come.
And that's the difference between the two people, because the character of Charles
Foster k had enough class to have gone to the opening, but he just
very uptight. That was the end of that. It wasn't really about him.
It was made up with a lot of people. That's the truth.
What's the last time you saw it? I saw it that opening in San
Francisco, and I snuck out right after it started. I've never seen a
picture of mine after I finished it. You haven't seen Citizen Knan all these
years, no picture I've ever made except as an active I've never seen a
picture I've directed. Only words. Yeah, well a thousand times in the
cutting room. But why wouldn't you want to say it now? Because I'd
like to sit here and think how good it must have been? You know,
is there, ever, is there any chance that you would change any
of it or do any of it again? Of course everything you'd want to
change everything. I think, you know, don't you want to change things
after you've done them? And a movie cat because no, that was the
whole thing. I just and I like to think, oh, yes,
and all those great pictures and I know if I saw them. Oh.
The battle with Hurst is the key controversy with this film. Hurst owned newspapers,
magazines, and radio stations across the United States, and with that came
major influence. If anyone dared cross him or at the slightest perceived disrespect,
Hurst, with his power and influence, could take down anyone or anything.
Wells in this film used several illusions to Hurst, from the large incomplete mansion
named Xanadu, to King's second wive's obsession with puzzles. Even the word Rosebud,
a Hollywood legend that Hurst gave this pet name to his mistress's genitalia,
were all fell by many to be shots at Hurst. To keep this in
other activities secret, Wells had to employ some secretive techniques, as explained in
this clip from the documentary The Battle Over Citizen King. When Mekowitz proposed the
story of Hurst, Wells seized on this as his last best chance. It
was perfect, an American saga, a giant who brings ruin to all and
to himself. Housman was dispatched to babysit Mank in a little desert town called
Victorville. You know bank which was a drug he jake Rosy keep him off
the booze. Well, he wrote this thing, and Housman and myself sort
of the go between. We would drive up to Victorville, get part of
the script, could bring it back to Worshipton, back and forth. Mank
called his script American, which was the title Hurst always claimed for himself.
But as Housman remembered, we were also creating a vehicle suited to a man
who, at twenty four was only slightly less fabulous than the hero he would
be portraying. And the deeper we penetrated into the heart of Charles Foster Kane,
the closer we seemed to come to the identity of Orson Wells. As
well as got the pages from Victorville. He attacked the script with all of
his craft and with all of his life to that point. The boy's loss
of his mother that never happened to Hurst, it happened to Wells. He
visualized himself as that character. See once he could see himself playing that character.
I mean that was it, you know. I think they thought that
they could get away with it. I don't think they really realized how touchy
the old man was, and that this was Hollywood. Then it would be
hell to pay. They knew enough to run it by the lawyers. From
that point of view, they weren't at risk anyway. If Hurst sued,
that would be great. The film would be news everywhere. They'd write in
some lines about Marion's drinking and those horrid puzzles. No one in Hollywood could
miss the joke. They'd even put in Rosebud the secret word, which they
claimed was Hurst's pet name for Marion's private parts. They'd drive the old man
crazy, turned the town on its eart called it on Monday morning by Jim
Wilkinson, the head of the editing department. My boss was saying this,
and you know that fellow Orson Wells has come to the studio. I said,
yeah, I know, I've seen him as well. He's pulled a
fast food on the studio. I said, what do you mean. He
said, well, he's got this new picture and he asked him for okay
to make three what he called test for this picture. And they gave me
the okay and he shot the tests, so called test, and he said
they looked at the scenes and realized their scenes for the picture, but not
just tests. So they've given him a green light to go ahead and make
the picture. I never saw anybody more focused. He knew exactly what he
wanted, and he and Greg Tolan were on a completely single wavelength. I
never forget the day I came in and that they had sawed a hole out
of the board floor, which you could do, and they were both in
their hands and knees drawing out the dirt like children. In a sandbox.
He was totally absorbed in himself in the picture of what he was doing.
But you couldn't look at those rushes coming in every day. Those films shot
the day before he got realizing, you we're getting something quite extraordin the photography
and the angles and the shooting. It was more of us. It was
just mar of us. He was okay with his cart blosh deals, and
he would not let the executives with that studio come anywhere near the set.
They came in and Urson said, who's gotta baseball, Let's play some catch.
So so everybody started to playing catch. But of course it jove to
the breast, absolutely loony. With his sound stage closed, with control over
everything on his set, Wells thought, at last he had his project in
hand. Nothing stopped him. After one fall down a flight of steps.
He acted in steel ankle braces and directed from a wheelchair. He's still said
he hated Hollywood, but at the studio he'd found the biggest magic kid on
Earth. Then, much like today, nothing stay secret in Hollywood. Eventually
the word got out in Hurst immediately went on the attack. He refused to
allow his newspapers and radio stations to advertise the film. He sicked his gossip
columnists from many newspapers on RKO Pictures and Wells, and he threatened to blackmail
studio heads with photos and evidence of them committing sexually deviant behavior. This led
to other studios trying to buy the film from RKO Pictures to destroy it.
In our final clip for Today, from the HBO film RKO two eighty one,
which is a biopic about the making of Citizen Kane Wells played by liv
Schreiber, makes an impassioned plea to the heads of the major studios to let
his film be released as he made it good Afternoon today, man from Germany
invaded Greece. He's already swallowed Poland, Denmark, Norway and Belgium is bombing
London as I speak. Everywhere this man goes he crushes the life and the
freedom of his subjects. He shows yellow stars and their lapels, He takes
their voices. In this country, we still have our voices. We can
argue with them, and we can sing, and we can be heard,
because we are for the moment free. No one can tell us what to
say or how to say it, can they? Gentlemen? I am one
voice. That is all. My picture is one voice, one view,
one opinion, nothing more. Men are dying in Europe now and Americans soon
will be, so that we can surmount the tyrants and the dictators. Will
you send a message across America that one man can take away our voices?
So who is mister Hurst and who is mister Wells? Well? Mister Hurst
built a palace of brick and mortar and little wars and corpses piled high.
Mister Wells built a palace of illusion. Sir? What we call that painting
camera trick? It's nothing, nothing but a dream. Today you have the
chance to let the dream triumph. Thank you? Was it successful or did
Hurst win in his battle to destroy it? And what is the everlasting legacy
of this picture? I hope you will join me next week when we will
answer those questions and kickstart our month long tribute to Orson Wells with the review
of, in my opinion, in the opinion of many others, the greatest
film of all time, Citizen Kane for WMNH and Matt Connorton Unleashed. This

put some words to it and it started on it as electronics. So here
we go. All right, we'll mix here here. Okay, everything I

of Who I Am is here with us live in studio. Now what it
So? That's uh, that's new right, you said that's from you wrote
that ten days ago. I did. Let me finally, Oh I did.
Yeah, I wrote that. Yeah, just I came up, I
kind of found created that sound, and then I said, I really love
that sound, and so I started thinking, well, what could I put
to that? You know, what words could I put to that? Right?
So I yeah, I sat there and just start thinking about something true,
being true to yourself. And next thing, you know, the words
came out, and you know, once since I go back to the keyboards,
I have to play it and see if the words that I write actually
fit. Oh yeah, that's not always the case. So I had to
change it up a little bit. You know, I send it to my
friend, I'm like, oh, listen to this, and so like,
since I sent it to them, I've already changed some of it. So
it's like that's the process of you know, getting it to a tried and
true song. Yeah, yeah, Jay Fad says in the chat room,
I could dance to that nice. Appreciate appreciate now? Is that usually how
it happens? As the music come to you first, typically and then the
lyrics are it. It goes both ways. Actually, sometimes I'm just mess
around on the keyboards and I say that sound. I got to incorporate that
sound into a song somehow. Yeah. And then sometimes I'm messing around on
my acoustic piano part and I'm like, I just come up with a chord
like sound, and like, what if I did this with the chords and
if I arrange them like this? And you know, usually it starts with
like two or three chords that match each other and the next thing, you
know, start writing stuff around it. A chorus, a break, a
bridge, boom. Now you got a song? Very cool? Do you
want to you want to play another one for us? Yeah? In fact,
I'll do a song that I did that with. I'll do let me

And it's and it's uh and it's and it's who dot I Am.
Yeah, it's who I am. You can not all the places will let
me do who dot I am? Yeah? Yeah, so you know who
dot I am is like technically what I call myself. It's it's patterned after
Will I Am. I don't know. I didn't even I didn't even think
of that I am because he has huge influence on just everything I oh,
my whole beginning. So yeah, where the name comes from? So yeah,
who died I am? Or who I am Live? Or who I
am? If there's not a lot of who I am is out there right,
if you actually search it, you'll find me on YouTube. I got
a huge YouTube thing with all my videos, and I'm on you know,
Instagram. I do my radio show live stuff on there and my music stuff,
and then also on Facebook you can see my radio page and you can
also see my my live stuff, my who I am stuff and performances and
stuff. By the way, regarding that song, our friend Mariam banished in
the chat room says, and I didn't even think of this until she said
it. She said, getting a Jackson five feeling with some of that.
Yeah, that's it didn't occur to me until she said that, But yeah
that's true. Yeah, sure, absolutely, I know all about the Jackson
vive. Yeah, pretty awesome. There you go, there you go.
You also you mentioned the radio show. We should mention that too so people
can check that out. Yeah, I'm I have a radio show on Wave
Radio Boston WRB rocks dot com. You can stream it live Thursdays five to
six pm. And the the hook on my show is it's always only local
music. So I'm not gonna be playing Aerosmith, not gonna be playing led
Zeppelin, even though I love all those bands, or you know whatever,
but just always searching for that local flavor and it's something. It's like the
songs I pick or are like, you know, songs that like who I
Am style, you know, things that who I Am will like And it's
not like, you know, just one style. You know. I like
all kinds of rock stations, So I do rock music, be heavy or
it could be just a ballad, you know, so whatever you would hear
on FM rock station but always local artists. And the thing is you listen
to it and you're like, did I just listen to a show full of
national artists? Because it's sounds like a show full of national artists? Yeah.
Yeah, So that's how that goes. And when you say local in
your case because you're in Boston, do you mean do you mean Boston or
do you mean Massachusetts? New England? New England? And I will admit
some people have reached out from further places. Sometimes I'll play people that I'm
on a bill with and so like one time I ended up doing a radio
interview with Your Best Nightmare, who lives in New Jersey. So your Best
Nightmare Report or what up? Girls? She just released an album. Yeah
Your Best Nightmare is so good, and so you know she's from Jersey,
but she was still on the show. Yeh. She's total local indie.
She played here, so you know, yeah, what's what's local? But
I try to keep it mainly local. Yeah, Boston, Southern New Hampshire,
New Hampshire, all these areas very cool. You want to play another
one for sure? Sure? All Okay, let's do Uh, I think
I'll do I think I'll do New Love Okay, if you're just joining us,

going, and it's very difficult to for one to have other people like that

basically everything at my command, and you just can't do that with people.
