One minor allusion comes in Mike Nichols' The Graduate (1967). When,
towards the beginning of the movie, Benjamin Braddock sits listening
to Mr. Robinson's reflections on his future at the Robinson house, he
holds his (unwanted) glass of scotch at the bottom, screen left, in a
manner highly reminiscent of the attempted suicide scene in Citizen
Kane. A minor allusion, perhaps, if it is one at all; but fun for the
Graduate cast and crew.
