I was walking up to the projection booth in Zanuck Theater at 20th Century Fox and there is case where they have some of the Oscars. I read the plaque on the middle one -- "Best Picture 1941 'How Green Was My Valley" and I thought immediately "But that's impossible! 1941 was the year "Citizen Kane" came out!"
