Home›Interactive and Networked Media Landmarks›Release Year›By Decade›1980sBrowse By1980sThis dimension places a media work in the year it was actually released to the public. Wikipedia notes principal photography on Citizen Kane "took place in 1940... and the film was released in 1941," a short gap by the standards of film production.
