...though I also liked CITIZEN KANE. I have been moved to see TOUCH OF EVIL about 3 or 4 times, but one viewing of KANE was enough.But please don't put me down as a P. Kael fan. I've always had it in for her ever since I found out these two things:
a) she didn't like Ken Russell (this, I will concede, simply means we have differing tastes); however--
a) she praised FIDDLER ON THE ROOF, but panned THE SOUND OF MUSIC. One of the most illogical positions on any art form I've ever encountered.
About the only matter on which I ever agreed with Ms. Kael was her assessment of FORREST GUMP, the movie--"I hated it unreservedly" (or words to that effect)
