More on Herman J. Mankiewicz
Description from Wikipedia:
Herman Jacob Mankiewicz (November 7, 1897 - March 5, 1953) was a Hollywood screenwriter, noted for writing, along with Orson Welles, the screenplay for Citizen Kane, which is considered one of the most important and most controversial movies in the history of film.
He was widely regarded as one of the brightest minds in Hollywood and was considered a master at witty dialogue. He was often asked to fix the screenplays of other writers. What distinguished his writing from that of other writers were occasional flashes of the "Mankiewicz humor" and satire that became valued in the films of the 1930s. That style of writing included a slick, satirical, and witty humor, which depended almost totally on dialogue to carry the film. It was a style that would become associated with the "typical American film" of that period.
After moving to Hollywood from New York, he became a popular guest at the homes of many of America's most famous and wealthiest families. But his image became tarnished after the continuing battle with Welles over how much of the screenplay for Citizen Kane he actually wrote. Despite the conflict, both he and Welles received Academy Awards for their screenplay - the only award Citizen Kane received.
Among the more well-known screenplays he wrote, besides Citizen Kane were Man of the World, Ladies' Man, Dinner at Eight, Pride of the Yankees, and The Pride of St. Louis.
