If you’re interested in exploring this more, there are a few more films you can watch.

RKO 281 - HBO film about the making of Citizen Kane. Mank is played by Malkovich With superb cast.

The Cat’s Meow - portrays the infamous pleasure cruise aboard Hearst’s yacht with Marion, Charlie Chaplin and Thomas Ince, the latter of whom is shot dead during the cruise. Decent cast. Bogdonovich film.

The Hearst and Davies Affair - self explanatory. I haven’t watched it in a while. Made for tv.

Chaplin, if you haven’t already seen it, apparently also has Marion Davies. (I really don’t remember her in it; need to rewatch).
