I always thought this would make a nice quick video, especially after watching this: www.youtube.com I took scenes from two movies: The first is the HBO original RKO 281 (1999, directed by Benjamin Ross), the true story about the making of Citizen Kane. The second is The Cats Meow (2001, directed by Peter Bogdanovich), a semi-true story about a Hollywood murder aboard William Randolph Hearsts yacht. (I highly recommend both movies.) In this scene, Mank (John Malkovich) takes one last stab at convincing his best friend Orson (Liev Schrieber) not to make a movie attacking Hearst. So he tells an old story about Hearst and his possible involvement in the death of Hollywood mogul Thomas H. Ince. Orson Welles: Liev Schrieber Herman Mankiewicz: John Malkovich William Randolph Hearst: Edward Herrmann Marion Davies: Kirsten Dunst Thomas H. Ince: Cary Elwes Charlie Chaplin: Eddie Izzard Louella Parsons: Jennifer Tilly I own nothing. This video was created purely for entertainment purposes. RKO 281 footage belongs to HBO. The Cats Meow footage belongs to Lions Gate.
