This is right. Kael's essay is 50,000 words and includes endlessly valuable insights about Mankiewicz, Welles, and the movie. It's disheartening to see it routinely referred to as "debunked" or "discredited" as if it all rested on a single assertion.https://twitter.com/HeerJeet/status/1327703164129185793 …

Exactly. Among other things its a great essay on 1930s film history -- Kael's most sustained comment on the era that shaped her viewing.
