The Magnificent Ambersons

Six decades after Orson Welles' adaptation of the Booth Tarkington book was eviscerated by its studio, director Alfonso Arau used Welles' original script to create this haunting look at a Midwestern town's evolution in the early 1900s, and how a prominent family there fell victim to its own jealousies. Stars James Cromwell, Bruce Greenwood, Gretchen Mol, and Jennifer Tilly. 150 min. Standard; Soundtrack: English; biographies; featurette; filmographies.
