Description:Orson Welles's beautiful, nostalgia-suffused second feature the subject of one of cinema's greatest missing footage tragedies harks back to turn-of-the-twentieth-century Indianapolis, chronicling the inexorable decline of the fortunes of an affluent family. Adapted from an acclaimed Booth Tarkington novel and characterized by restlessly inventive camera work and powerful performances from a cast including Joseph Cotten, Tim Holt, and Agnes Moorehead, the film traces the rifts deepening within the Amberson clan at the same time as the forces of progress begin to transform the city they once ruled. Though RKO excised over forty minutes of footage, now lost to history, and added an incongruously upbeat ending, The Magnificent Ambersons is an emotionally rich family saga and a masterful elegy for a bygone chapter of American life.
The Magnificent Ambersons (Blu-Ray) by Criterion is a meticulously restored edition of Orson Welles? 1942 cinematic masterpiece, adapted from Booth Tarkington?s Pulitzer Prize-winning novel. This Blu-ray release features stunning visuals and immersive sound, offering film enthusiasts the definitive way to experience this poignant tale of family decline amid America?s industrial revolution. The Criterion Collection is renowned for its dedication to preserving important classic and contemporary films with high-quality transfers, insightful commentaries, and exclusive bonus materials that deepen appreciation for cinema history. Orson Welles directed The Magnificent Ambersons shortly after his groundbreaking debut with Citizen Kane. Known for his innovative storytelling and visual techniques, Welles remains one of cinema?s most influential figures. Joseph Cotten stars as Eugene Morgan; he was celebrated for roles in classics like Shadow of a Doubt and The Third Man. Agnes Moorehead delivers a powerful performance as Aunt Fanny?her career spanned radio, stage, television (notably Bewitched), and film. Tim Holt plays George Minafer; he was also known for Treasure of the Sierra Madre. Composer Bernard Herrmann provided the evocative score?his legendary work includes Psycho and Vertigo.
