	Most Controversial Films of All Time
		Although widely hailed as a "breakthrough" film for gay cinema, neither of the film's two lead actors, nor its director, nor its screenwriters were gay, and the film was originally advertised in trailers without specifically referring to the film's 'gay' themes or scenes.
		The film, budgeted at $800,000, received unanimous critical praise even at the time of its release, although it was not a commercial success (partly due to its limited distribution and delayed release by RKO due to pressure exerted by famous publisher W.R. Hearst).
		The film was accused of drawing remarkable, unflattering, and uncomplimentary parallels (especially in regards to the Susan Alexander Kane character) to real-life.

	GEORGE HARRISON AND MADONNA,LONDON, MARCH 6, 1986
		I think it's actually a very-good looking film This will be the thing in the end because there has been so much written in the papers that has absolutely nothing to do with what the film is about, and these two people have spent the last couple of months working on this thing.
		Everything that's been written in the papers has been started by someone in the press, either the photographer that sat on the hood of the car or the woman from the radio station who broke in and also the appalling behavior of the journalist who actually stole photographs from the the continuity woman.
		That's to say that the script is being improved, we've had certain actors we've wanted in the film and we've had to wait because one of them would already be making a different film.
