A fascinating, complex dual biography of Hollywood's most dazzling—and famous—brothers, and a dark, riveting portrait of competition, love, and enmity that ultimately undid them both. One most famous for having written Citizen Kane (with Orson Welles, as most recently portrayed in David Fincher's acclaimed Netflix film, Mank); the other, All About Eve; one, who only wrote screenplays but believed himself to be a serious playwright, slowly dying of alcoholism and disappointment; the other, a four-time Academy Award-winning director, auteur, sorcerer, and seducer of leading ladies, one of Hollywood's most literate and intelligent filmmakers. Herman Mankiewicz brought us the Marx Brothers' Monkey Business, Horse Feathers, Duck Soup, W. C. Fields's Million Dollar Legs, wrote screenplays for Dinner at Eight, Pride of the Yankees, cowrote Citizen Kane (Pauline Kael proclaimed that the script was mostly Herman's), and eighty-nine others . . . Talented, witty (Alexander Woollcott thought him "the funniest man who ever lived,"), huge-hearted, wildly immature, a figure of renown and success. Herman went to Hollywood in 1926, was almost immediately successful (his telegram to Hecht back east: "MILLIONS ARE TO BE GRABBED OUT HERE AND YOUR ONLY COMPETITION IS IDIOTS. DON'T LET THIS GET AROUND."), becoming one of the highest-paid screenwriters in Hollywood . . . Joe, eleven years younger, focused, organized, a disciplined writer, with a far more distinguished career, surpassing his worshipped older brother . . . producing The Philadelphia Story, writing and directing A Letter to Three Wives and All About Eve, both of which won him Oscars for writing and directing (All About Eve received a record fourteen Oscar nominations), before seeing his career upended by the spectacular fiasco of Cleopatra . . . In this large, moving portrait, meticulously woven together by the grandson of Herman, great-nephew of Joe, we see the lives of these two men--their dreams and desires, their fears and feuds, struggling to free themselves from their dark past; and the driving forces that kept them bound to a system they loved and hated.

In 1926, Herman Mankiewicz, then an aspiring playwright in New York, decided to try his luck in Hollywood writing scenarios for silent movies. Later that year he cabled his friend Ben Hecht back on the east coast: 'MILLIONS ARE TO BE GRABBED OUT HERE AND YOUR ONLY COMPETITION IS IDIOTS STOP DON'T LET THIS GET AROUND ...' It was the start of Hollywood's Golden Age, and Herman, who would go on to write CITIZEN KANE with Orson Welles, and his brother Joseph, who would write and direct ALL ABOUT EVE, were there to grab -- and lose -- many of those millions. Perhaps the most famous sibling rivalry in the history of the movies, these two moguls shaped the early history of Hollywood and left a legacy that still endures. But who were they? And what was their world really like? Brilliantly written by Herman's grandson Nick Davis, COMPETING WITH IDIOTS is an irresistible portrait of these two remarkable brothers and their achievements. Part memoir, part family saga, part cultural history, it assesses their masterpieces in the light of their rivalry and offers an unparalleled insight into Hollywood's heyday.

After more than two decades of unrequited devotion, Natasha and Wall Street got a divorce.
