I think the first word in 'Citizen Kane' is "Rosebud", but I might be wrong --- Actually it is. Movie begins by showing a sign on a fence, "NO TRESPASSING" it says. Then the camera moves upwards showing yet more fences. Then an iron gate is shown with the letter "K" in the middle. Then a couple of monkeys, a pair of gondolas and finally a big house with the lights on in one window. The light goes out. Then it comes back again (more intense). Then a hand holding a glass sphere, a face that says "Rosebud". Then the hand lets go of the glass sphere that rolls and falls and cracks open. --- It is Rosebud, this question was just asked on "who wants to be a millionaire".
