The Magnificent Ambersons (1942) w/ Cat Bowen
"Real life screened more daringly than it's ever been before!" One of the few films whose reputation is based as much on what isn't onscreen as what is, writer Cat Bowen joins us to talk about Orson Welles' famously interfered-with follow-up to Citizen Kane, The Magnificent Ambersons. We talk what works, what's missing, and what made Francois Truffaut call the film a "mutilated masterpiece."
