The Magnificent Ambersons

A film by Orson Welles
Starring Tim Holt, Joseph Cotten, Dolores Costello

The follow-up to Citizen Kane is a fascinating adaptation of the Booth Tarkington novel about a family unwilling to change their way of life with the times. Wrapped up in making nearly a dozen different projects at once, Orson Welles foolishly left the post-production work in the studio’s hands, which resulted in nearly an hour of Welles’ rough-cut being removed. The long-lost footage has fueled one of the greatest What-Ifs in cinema history, right up there with Greed.
