Although, in [[RKO 281]], a 1999 film that was a fictionalized
account of the creation of Citizen Kane, Welles is shown yelling the
spoiler about "Rosebud" to the crowd waiting in the theater lobby
before the start of an opening-night showing, just for the heck of
it. (At that point he's pretty frustrated with the whole movie
business, after all the manipulations to try to suppress his film.)
