One of your better femme fatales. submitted by lisa on July 26, 2018, 4:45pm And by "better" I don't mean "most good"!

"A tale told by an idiot, full of sound and fury, signifying NOTHING". WHat a disappointment! submitted by Tassos on November 18, 2021, 8:56am It is unexplainable how the brilliant Orson Welles, who, when he was only 25, directed anf acted in the BEST MOVIE EVER MADE, CITIZEN KANE, the same brilliant Orson Welles, when he was 6 years older and supposedly wiser, came up with this TOTALLY WORTHLESS PIECE OF EXCREMENT. Unwatchable! I work on my laptop now, while I have the stupid movie on my 55" TV screen, on MUTE, with Subtitles, and FAST FORWARD.

And in case you ask me, why did I bother to borrow this worthless DVD, when I already knew that Welles never made a good movie again, after the 1941 Masterpiece?

Because some MORONS on the internet (the clowns who put together the IMDB databases) ranked this movie among the... 1,000 best movies EVER (!!!!!). It should be among the 1,000 WORST!

UNBELIEVABLE.
