** The plot also greatly resembles Creator/AldousHuxley's little known 1938 novel, ''Literature/AfterManyASummer'' which also has a millionaire in Hollywood, who lives a hermetic life in retreat at a transparent San Simeon {{Expy}}. Huxley's story was also a satire of American culture, and he modeled the tycoon and his mistress on Hearst and Marion Davies.

* ItWasHisSled: Partially due to this being the {{Trope Namer|s}}. Kane's final words are "Rosebud" and the movie is largely dedicated to Jerry Thompson's search for meaning behind this word. Turns out "Rosebud" was a sled he had as a child.
