The Magnificent Ambersons

1942

Directed by Orson Welles

The Magnificent Ambersons, adapted from the 1918 novel of the same name by Booth Tarkington, is a period drama about a wealthy Midwestern family and the coming of the age of the automobile. The Magnificent Ambersons is an enjoyable film, with entertaining acting and compelling cinematography, but it ultimately doesn’t have anything very interesting to say about the country or era it’s set in.

Would see.
