His choice lias paid off hand somely, not least considering that the modestly bud geted 90-minute TV film has the look of a major stu dio feature. The $12 million venture, from a script by playwright- turned-screenwriter John Logan {Never the Sinner), pre mieres Saturday at 7 p.m. on HBO. The cast includes John Malkovich as Her man J. Mankiewicz — Welles’ collab orator, as well as occasional adversary, on the 1941 classic — and Roy Schei- der as George Schaefer, the belea guered RKO Studio head who gave Cit izen Kane its title. Kane began life with the working ti tle “RKO 281,” which was the produc tion number given it by the studio. Dominating a starry supporting lineup are James Cromwell and Melanie Griffith, both in terrific form as media magnate William Randolph Hearst — the inspiration for Kane — and his mistress, Marion Davies. Fiona Shaw and Brenda Blethyn appear, jointly cast against type to droll effect, as gossip titans Hedda Hopper and Louella Parsons. “I’d heard about it chiefly through the Peanuts cartoons. They were always referring to Welles and 'Rosebud’ and some sled.” “God shone on us,” co-producerDia jJ\SPER (AP)- Lewis said. , a n to stand trie And so a trendy Soho restaurant named 3 atih of a black came Hollywood’s venerated meeting place, .relay that he tri Derby, while the staircase at San Simeonu. lC k|but one of h derelict portion of St. Pancras railway state a ed him, leavir An Islamic hall dating back to the 1870si: jth fear, don’s impressive Leighton House, a one-ir “1 couldn’t m home-turned-museum and gallery, doubledafiBvn Allen Ber bedroom at San Simeon. ie (Death penalty And a private home was found in the; anions for the s don suburb of Dorking for a scene imps Byrd Jr., s.

Production designer Maria Djurkovic created an enor mous polystyrene fireplace and winding staircase dressed with elaborate statuary to suggest Welles’ ver sion of San Simeon, the magnificently over-the-top Cal ifornia “castle” that the real Hearst called home. “What are the two things one really remembers? The staircase and the fireplace,” Djurkovic said. “That’s where we put our money.” The shoot, say the filmmakers, has been a series of adroit substitutions in which even the reliably gray Eng lish weather turned unusually Californialike. “I’d heard about it chiefly through the Pea:, idH ’ , ’ £ toons,” he explains. “They were always re:?
