Its pretty clear from Brothers, that Mankiewicz thought that the JFK case was a conspiracy. And he also thought that Bobby was intent on reopening the case once he won the WH.
What he thought about the RFK case, I don't really know since Brothers sort of ends with that event.
As per Welles and Citizen Kane and Ambersons, not only do I think Citizen Kane is the best American movie ever, I would argue that its probably the most revolutionary American movie ever made as far as technique goes. I will also say that in that one film, Welles took the art of film directing to a point that no other American has passed since. Including him.
What is so incredible about that is the fact he was only 25 and it was his first movie.
BTW, as Joe will tell you, I am not the only one who feels that way about Kane.
