The Magnificent Ambersons (Criterion Collection)

Orson Welles' second film is a daring study of the decline of a wealthy family in the late 19th-century Midwest and the relationship between an arrogant son and his family's matriarch. Initially ill-received and edited at RKO's insistence, the film has gone on to become a landmark drama. Based on Booth Tarkington's novel; Joseph Cotten, Tim Holt, Dolores Costello, and Agnes Moorehead star. 88 min. Standard; Soundtracks: English Dolby Digital mono; Subtitles: English (SDH); audio commentary; featurettes; radio plays; theatrical trailer; more.
