- The Ambersons are by far the wealthiest family in their Midwestern city in the last few decades of the 19th century. As a young man, Eugene Morgan courts Isabel Amberson, but she rejects him after he publicly embarrasses her. She instead marries Wilbur Minafer, a passionless man she does not love, and spoils their child, George. The townspeople long to see George get his "comeuppance."
The Magnificent Ambersons is a 1942 American period drama written, produced, and directed by Orson Welles. Welles adapted Booth Tarkington's Pulitzer Prize-winning 1918 novel, about the declining fortunes of a wealthy Midwestern family and the social changes brought by the automobile age. The film stars Joseph Cotten, Dolores Costello, Anne Baxter, Tim Holt, Agnes Moorehead and Ray Collins, with Welles providing the narration.
Welles lost control of the editing of The Magnificent Ambersons to RKO, and the final version released to audiences differed significantly from his rough cut of the film. More than an hour of footage was cut by the studio, which also shot and substituted a happier ending. Although Welles's extensive notes for how he wished the film to be cut have survived, the excised footage was destroyed. Composer Bernard Herrmann insisted his credit be removed when, like the film itself, his score was heavily edited by the studio.
Even in its released form The Magnificent Ambersons is often regarded as among the greatest films of all time, a distinction it shares with Welles's first film, Citizen Kane. The film was nominated for four Academy Awards, including Best Picture, and it was added to the National Film Registry of the Library of Congress in 1991

A great classic ... but the noise sometimes made it impossible to understand the dialogue.
I know it's not your fault; sometimes the only recording available is damaged. But just as a caution to folks who find the background noise stressful rather than relaxing.
Wow, is this better than the (heavily edited) film? Well at least the radio program explains a few things to me the movie glosses over.
The original book is online, and it's surprising how closely the movie follows it (despite the studio interference). There's long passages in the film that are taken word-for-word from Booth Tarkington ~ it's a clear, well-written novel.
Walter Huston was a treat and the little back and forth at the end was fun. Thank you. 🌸😎
Audio is unlistenable. 👎🏻
too much static
