I have to admit, I'm surprised at how few people identified last week's clue clip. True, I tried to make it a little difficult-- having Orson Welles whisper "Rosebud" would have been no fun for anybody-- but this brief speech is still one of the film's best known and loved moments. Welles himself was especially fond of it and gave full credit for the lovely words to his co-writer, Herman J. Mankiewicz. It was delivered by Everett Sloane, an original member of The Mercury Theater and a veteran radio actor. (Welles blamed those years doing radio for Sloane's later, weaker film performances, and said he gave the actor's character in The Lady from Shanghai crutches and leg braces because he felt Sloane was no longer able to move naturally on screen.)

So congrats to the usual handful of quiz winners for knowing Citizen Kane well enough to identify Mr. Bernstein's wistful speech about the girl in a summer dress: Wayne A. Palmer, Peter at Mudville, E. Yarber and Chris Bahn.
