This movie tells of one of the unresolved scandal that happened to one of hollywood's inner circle. There is a lot of witty lines and comeback lines, and some interesting characters, but many seem to be only cardboard cutouts of what a person of that stature and time should be like.
Edward Herrmann was great as William Randolph Hearst, the overconfident man who turns to a insecure child whenever it comes to his relationship with his girl, played by Kirsten Dunst, who is good as the nurturing figure that was the light to Hearst. His perception of his love that might fly away at any moment gives a view of the other side of this ever powerful magnate.
There was a lot of dialogue that I missed at first because they were fired off back and forth so fast, but with the advent of DVD, it was not hard to re-hear what was said, and utilize of subtitles if it was still not understood.
All in all, a good movie how one of the great hollywood scandal might have played out, along with good insight on one of the most powerful man at that time.
