    In Mank's earlier flashbacks, which takes place in 1940 a few weeks before the car crash that lands him in the 'present' timeline of the film, we hear him disparaging the movie The Wizard of Oz. Not much is given by way of explanation, but a little digging reveals exactly why. Mankiewicz was one of ten screenwriters assigned to The Wizard of Ozin 1...

    To explain, we also have to delve into Mankiewicz's politics. He's shown in the movie to be more left-leaning than he was in reality. In the movie, he refuses to toe the MGM line of donating to republican gubernatorial candidate Frank Merriam's campaign and tries to stop MGM making phoney propaganda videos, featuring "real interviews" with white pe...

    They're real (and abhorrently xenophobic and fear-mongering, as one might expect) and did likely deliver a huge blow to socialist candidate Upton Sinclair (played by Bill Nye). In Mank, Thalberg was inspired to make the propaganda by something Mankiewicz said, and a test-shot director Shelly Metcalf (Jamie McShane) jumped at the chance to move up t...

    One of the key players in the fictional unravelling is Marion Davies (played by Amanda Seyfried), the real-life movie star who was the long-time mistress of William Randolph Hearst. In Mank, Marion is the catalyst for plenty, but how much of it is actually true? Effectively, almost everything in Mankabout Marion is true, but the timing of it is the...

    In Mank, it's revealed that Mankiewicz saved an entire village from the Nazis – he didn't do this, but he did help Jewish refugees get work. Again, his politics may have been right-leaning, but he was one of a few voices at the time to warn of Hitler as a real threat.

    Who really wrote the bulk of Citizen Kane? Mank's answer is, well, Mank. The real answer is far more complicated and can really only be summed up as: we're not sure. What is true in Mankis the set up – the broken leg, the dry ranch, the secretary, German physical therapist, and that Mankiewicz initially voluntarily gave up credit. What's fiction is...

    "Don't worry… the white wine came up with the fish": Mankiewicz did say this, but not at a party thrown by Hearst. Hearst's castle: Was as bananas as Fincher made it look. Poor Sara: We don't get much of her, but she was routinely described as long-suffering. What's most hair-raising is that, in reality, she and Mankiewicz were the same age: both w...
