I don't have a specific reference for the quote, but it sounds like it
might be a somewhat defensive response to the accusations made by a
number of critics over the years (Pauline Kael is probably the most
notable) that KANE is a "shallow" film or that Rosebud is a "shallow"
device.

Subject: welles quote context

does anyone have a bibliographic reference / context for orson welles's
supposed claim (made towards the end of his life) that "film is a
shallow
medium" (or "shallow art form")?

thanks -
