May 1, 1941: Hollywood classic film Citizen Kane, produced, directed, and starring Orson Welles had its world premiere at the Palace Theatre in New York City, USA. In 2015, Citizen Kane was ranked 1st on the BBC’s "100 Greatest American Films" list.


Citizen Kane is frequently cited as the greatest film ever made.[7] For 40 years (five decennial polls: 1962, 1972, 1982, 1992 and 2002), it stood at number one in the British Film Institute's Sight & Sound decennial poll of critics,[8] and it topped the American Film Institute's 100 Years ... 100 Movies list in 1998, as well as its 2007 update. The Library of Congress selected Citizen Kane as an inductee of the 1989 inaugural group of 25 films for preservation in the United States National Film Registry for being "culturally, historically, or aesthetically significant".[9][10] The film was nominated for Academy Awards in nine categories and it won for Best Writing (Original Screenplay) by Mankiewicz and Welles.



May 1, 1972: Immigration: Detroit Crackdown

May 1st: Jack Torrance's shift as caretaker of the Overlook Hotel was due to end, with the hotel re-opening on the 15th.




May 1, 1983: The Invasion Will Be Televised! The original V aired as the 1st part of a 2-part TV mini-series.


The series was intended as a literal retelling of the Nazi takeover of various countries, and the resistance movement against them. However, because of the popularity of the "Star Wars" saga and other science fiction hits, as well as the belief among network executives that U.S. citizens would not believe a fascist takeover, the network executives had the producers change it to a science fiction miniseries. Other ideas were also discussed, but discarded. The Visitors' symbol is actually a modified swastika.

The miniseries is dedicated to the memory of Dominique Dunne, the original actress cast as Robin Maxwell before she was murdered by her boyfriend. The end of the first series was left deliberately open-ended with many unresolved plot threats dangling. This was all in the hopes that a cliffhanger ending would generate interest in either a TV series or a second mini-series; and the producers in fact got both. "V" tv series came out the following year in 1984 and lasted 19 episodes.
