Raising Kane and other Essays offers the best of Pauline Kael’s more extended meditations on the movies, including the full text of her controversial account of the making of Citizen Kane, still considered by many to be the greatest motion picture ever made. Her sympathetic and insightful study of the career of Cary Grant, ‘The Man From Dream City’ appears alongside such prophetic analyses as ‘Movies on Television’, Fantasies of the Art-House Audience’ and the classic ‘Trash, Art and the Movies’. This volume also contains the most complete version to date of her landmark dissection of the film industry, ‘The Making of The Group’.
