In the semiotic analysis of *Citizen Kane* that appeared in *Film Reader 1* (1975), overseen by Lee Russell, uh, I mean Peter Wollen, the number of shots can be deduced from figures given on pages 32-37. I believe both the script that appears in *The Citizen Kane Book* and the actual film itself were used to determine the number of shots (which should yield the number of "cuts," I imagine). ___________________________________________________________________________ William Lafferty, PhD Associate Professor Department of Theatre Arts [log in to unmask] Wright State University office: (937) 775-4581 or 3072 Dayton, Ohio 45435-0001 USA facsimile: (937) 775-3787 I have been in the scholastic profession long enough to know that nobody enters it unless he has some very good reason which he is anxious to conceal. --- Augustus Fagin, Esq., PhD, in Evelyn Waugh's *Decline and Fall* Visit *Lake Michigan Maritime Marginalia* at http://www.wright.edu/~william.lafferty ---- To sign off Screen-L, e-mail [log in to unmask] and put SIGNOFF Screen-L in the message.
