Blunt Review
Rating: 3/5 --
Wonderful TV movie about the pressures and ego clashes and politics surrounding the making of Citizen Kane.
Journal and Courier (Lafayette, IN)
...factual details aside, Ross and Logan make the history live. "RKO 281" is no Citizen Kane... but in its own way it pays homage to Welles and his film...

Product Description:
This HBO mini-series tells the story behind the legendary movie CITIZEN KANE, which had a working title of "RKO #281." It's the story of the battle between Orson Welles (director and star of CITIZEN KANE), and William Randolph Hearst (whose real life bore an incredibly strong resemblance to the movie's main character).
