HBO's RKO 281: The Battle Over CITIZEN KANE - a MUST for Any Film Buff!
|
| This sumptuously produced made-for-TV movie concerning the epic battle between 26-year-old boy wonder Orson Welles and newspaper publisher William Randolph Hearst over CITIZEN KANE is totally enthralling from the opening scene to final fadeout. Hearst was highly annoyed with Welles' first movie (working title: RKO 281) because its newspaper publisher character bore a too-close-for-comfort resemblance to himself. As a result the aging publishing magnate would go to any extreme to shut the movie down. "The stuff of legend, with tales of sexual blackmail, money changing hands and threats behind closed doors." The Direction is crisp and the acting superb, with the likes of Roy Scheider, John Malkovich, James Cromwell (as Hearst), Melanie Griffith (Marion Davies) and Liev Schreiber (Welles) in the cast. Light up the arc lamps and let the fireworks begin! |
