    > And my vague recollection from reading A Panorama of American Film Noir far too long ago is that if the authors did not categorize *Citizen Kane* as a film noir, they came thisclose. We don't generally think of it as such today, but that may be because it was (and continues to be) such a monumental cinematic work that limiting it to any category seems belittling.

     

    No, actually the authors of "Panorama of American Film Noir" said Citizen Kane was unclassifiable:

     

    >To a large extent the history of cinema is a history of series. Unclassifiable films exist, of course: Orson Welles's "Citizen Kane" or Clifford Odet's "None But the Lonely Heart" are two such.

     

    Good points regarding the difference between noir in general an American noir, though.
