RKO 281

See how the greatest movie ever made nearly wasn't, in this acclaimed look at the creation of "Citizen Kane." Liev Schreiber stars as mercurial theatrical "boy wonder" Orson Welles, whose plan to film his and co-writer Herman Mankiewicz's (John Malkovich) thinly-veiled look at the life of publisher William Randolph Hearst (James Cromwell) and his mistress, actress Marion Davies (Melanie Griffith), brought down the wrath of the aging magnate. 87 min. Standard; Soundtrack: English.
