THE MAGNIFICENT AMBERSONS

We Love Orson Welles
(NR) USA – 1 hr 28 min
1942 · d. Orson Welles
Starring Joseph Cotten, Dolores Costello, Agnes Moorehead

As the dawn of the automobile age transforms the world, a feud between a young heiress and her inventor beau sets off a chain of events that will haunt both families for generations. Despite its director’s clashes with the studio, Welles’ equally ambitious follow-up to Citizen Kane stands as a bold, moving American masterpiece.
