The strong ones are present in Kane: the German one I already mentioned, and also the unmistakingly clear influence of Eisenstein. There is strong Eisenstein's imprint in the party scene, and even a more pronounced one in the use of light and sharp shadows - one just needs to look at the Ivan the Terrible to see where many Kane's shots came from.Not knowing what has been happening in the rest of the world is never a good idea.
Follow Ups:
Welles himself said (paraphrase): "We study the old masters: John Ford, John Ford, and John Ford". He watched "Stagecoach" many times prior to making Kane.
there are NO word enough to praise " Stagecoach "!
Yes, particularly Greg Tolland's cinematography.
Everything. Not even the Duke...
Max Reinhardt ( née Goldman ) was the father of impressionism for the theater and movie, his influence and role goes far beyond any thing done till there.
Of course all the Murnau´s & Lang & Einsenstein.. ecetera.. had they own strong expression .
Of course a sort of synergy did have to happen above all frontiers and I am not really keen to says who started first as in my understanding there is NO copyright as everything belong to THE people...in a perfect world, of course, so I give to cesar what belongs to him, in one word, Max Reinhardt!
I don't recall seeing any of his films (although I might have during my early years...), and the only one available here is his last work - the Midsummer Night's Dream... but I presume you were talking about the earlier ones - right?
It was his ONLY / co / film with Diterle!
No, his influence came directly from his theater, you must read the books from Lotte Eisner!
You will see the power of Max Reinhardt on actors, scenes, lightning.. ecetera.
One word: immense!
