This movie had a very good cast. However, the story was a very abbreviated light version of the real one. Better to watch the "American Experience (PBS)" documentary included on the DVD of "Citizen Kane." RKO 281 doesn't really show the severity of the impact that Hearst had on Welles and the beginning of the black listing movement. Welles was pretty much destroyed in his tracks by this and that is not shown at all. Looks more like Hearst got the brunt of it.
