¿Sabías que...?
- CuriosidadesThe film shows RKO production chief George Schaefer announcing to Orson Welles and Herman J. Mankiewicz that he has lost his job on the very day of the opening of Ciudadano Kane (1941) in May 1941. In fact, Schaefer did not get fired until late in the following year, and this was less because he had promoted the film career of Orson Welles than because almost all the films RKO had made during his tenure had been flops.
- PifiasIn 1940, Disney was not the major studio it was today. It had few major releases by that date, all animated and all of which were released through other distributors. The meeting of studio chiefs depicted in the movie probably did not take place- certainly not in the form shown- but even if it had, Walt Disney would probably not have been invited. (Samuel Goldwyn, also shown as present, had sold his share in MGM to Louis Mayer years earlier, but was still a major producer.)
- Citas
Orson Welles: I expected better of you, Mank.
Herman Mankiewicz: Me too, but I got used to it.
- Créditos adicionalesEpilogue: "Citizen Kane was released in 1941 to critical acclaim and box office indifference. William Randolph Hearst gradually withdrew from public life. Marion Davies continued to live with him as his mistress. Until his death in 1951, Hearst never permitted a single advertisement or review of Citizen Kane in any of his newspapers. Orson Welles struggled yet succeeded in making films for the rest of his life, including The Magnificent Ambersons, Touch of Evil and Chimes at Midnight. He died in 1985. Citizen Kane is widely considered the greatest American film ever made."

Reseña destacada
If you are into vintage movies, vintage America and conspiracy theories, then this is an entertainment for you.
Many other reviews here have outlined the strengths and weaknesses of the film re the truth about the making of Kane, and the relative attributions of credit, blame and opprobrium. I'd like to inject a good word for Roy Scheider's portrayal of RKO boss George Schaefer: His character's struggle to find the right balance between keeping his east coast money men happy, his obvious liking for Welles and the desire to make good movies is very well portrayed.
Something I really enjoyed was the portrayal of Welles' and Mank's visit to the Hearst Castle at San Simeon, California. That is a fascinating place, which saw so many famous and talented people visit during Hearst's time there. There's a movie about the lifetime of that place to be made by someone, though I don't think anyone has ever attempted it? Apparently they didn't use the real location for RKO281 - a lot of it seems to have been done in London. Was that cost, or did the Hearst Castle trustees refuse....? Anyway, if you're up for a good tale woven around some known facts, but not sticking to them too tightly, take the RKO281 ride, you'll have fun. Just don't let it become your true picture of Mr Welles, Mr Hearst or (most of all) Mr Mankiewicz.
