9. Citizen Kane
Year: 1941
Starring: Orson Welles, Joseph Cotten, and Dorothy Comingore
Recommended by: Paul Danos, dean of Dartmouth College's Tuck School of Business, and James W. Dean Jr., dean of the University of North Carolina's Kenan-Flager Business School
The office party scene has dancing girls and bands and ends with "The Charlie Kane Song," where the new leader is not only lampooned, but CEO Kane himself joins in the chorus and shows a different side of himself to the troops.
—Paul Danos
This psychological study of the making of a publishing empire is based on the life of William Randolph Hearst, whose overwhelming drive for business success was based on compensating for his abandonment by his parents. Released in 1941, it is still considered one of America's finest films. Quote: "I suppose he had a private sort of greatness, but he kept it to himself."
—James W. Dean Jr.
《公民凯恩》(Citizen Kane),1941年
主演:奥逊·威尔斯(Orson Welles)、约瑟夫·科顿(Joseph Cotten)、多乐茜·康明格尔(Dorothy Comingore)
推荐人:保罗·达诺斯(Paul Danos),达特茅斯学院塔克商学院院长;小詹姆士·W·迪安(James W. Dean Jr.),北卡罗来纳大学克南-弗拉格勒(Kenan-Flagler)商学院院长
推荐理由:保罗说,公司聚会一场有舞女、乐队和“查理凯恩之歌”,新领导者不只是奚落,CEO凯恩自己也参与进来向大家展示自己不同的一面。
小詹姆士说,“我认为他有自己的某种崇高,但是他还是自己保留着吧。”
