Unfortunately, this documentary offers a series of talking heads making that disavowal, but provides no real evidence. 'Captured on Film' goes to great lengths - protesting *too* much, methinks - in its insistence that Hearst and Davies were *not* the inspiration for the fictional relationship between Charles Foster Kane and Susan Alexander in 'Citizen Kane'. Any appraisal of Marion Davies's life and career must necessarily examine her relationship with William Randolph Hearst. Full disclosure: I've had some minor interaction with Mr Neely and I consider him a friend, so I may be slightly prejudiced in favour of this movie. 'Captured on Film: The True Story of Marion Davies' is one of several documentaries directed by Hugh Munro Neely and produced by Hugh Hefner, each one spotlighting a legendary actress of silent films.
