Welles will adapt Booth Tarkington's Pulitzer Prize-winning 1918 novel, about the leaning fortunes of the wealthy Midwestern family and the social changes brought by the car era. The film stars Joseph Cotten, Dolores Costello, Ann Baxter, Tim Holt, Agnes Moorhead and Ray Collins, while Welles has a narration. Heles lost control of RKO's The Magnificent Amberers edit, and the final version released to viewers was significantly different from his rough cut of the film. More than an hour of footage was cut in the studio, which also shot and replaced a happier ending. While Veles's extensive notes on how he wanted the film to be shortened survived, the cut frames were destroyed. Composer Bernard Herrmann insisted that his merit be removed when, like the film itself, his score was heavily edited by the studio. Even in the released version, The Magnificent Amberers is often regarded as one of the greatest films of all time, a distinction he shares with Heles's first film, Citizen Kane. The film was nominated for four Academy Awards, including Best Picture, and was added to the Library of Congress National Film Registry in 1991.

Citizens long to see George get his comeuppance. In the In the early 20th century, Major Amberson gives a big party at The Amberson Mansion for George, who is home from college for the holidays. Eugene, now a widower who has just returned to the city after twenty years, visits. George does not like Eugene, whom he considers a social climber, and ridicules Eugene's investment in the car. He instantly takes to Eugene's daughter Lucy. The next day, George and Lucy ride a sleigh. They pass Eugene, his aunt Fanny, Isabelle, and Brother Isabelle, Jack. Eugenie's boneless carriage got stuck in the snow, and George mocked them for getting a horse. Amberson's sleigh then flips over, and Eugene (his car is now mobile again) gives everyone a ride home. George is humiliated by this incident and outraged by Eugene's attention to Isabelle, as well as his mother's apparent attachment to Eugene. Wilbur Minafer loses a significant amount of money on bad investments, and soon after dies. George is largely indifferent to the death of his father. The night after the funeral, George teases Fanny, who is overtaken by Eugene. Time passes. Eugene becomes a very wealthy car manufacturer, and again courts Isabelle, who refuses to risk George's disapproval by telling him about her love. Lucy rejects George's marriage proposal, saying he has no ambition in life other than to be rich and keep things as they are and leaves town. The Ambersons invite a lonely Eugene to dinner, where George, accusing him of turning Lucy against him, criticizes the cars. The Ambersons are shocked by his rudeness, but Eugene says George may be right. That evening, George learns from Aunt Fanny that Eugene is a whim to Isabelle. Furious, he rudely confronts a neighbor for spreading gossip about his mother. The next day, George refuses to let Eugene to his mother. Jack tells Isabelle about George's terrible behavior, but she refuses to do anything that might upset her son. Eugene writes isabelle, asking her to make a choice between her son and his love. Isabelle chooses George. Lucy returns home to find out that George takes his mother to Europe on a long trip. George talks to Lucy in an attempt to find out if she loves him. She feigned indifference and they parted. Lucy is heartbroken, however, and faints. Months pass. Isabelle is seriously ill, but George will not allow her to return home, so that she did not resume her relationship with Eugene, softening only when she begins to die. George refuses to let Eugene into the house to visit Isabelle on her deathbed, despite the fact that she begged to see Eugene for the last time. After Isabelle's death, Major Amberson plunges into old age and dies. His property is worthless. Jack leaves town to find work in another city. George intends to live on Fanny's income while like training to be a lawyer but she reveals that she lost everything in a bad investment, leaving them only a few hundred dollars to until the end of the year. Eugene asks Lucy if she will make peace with George. Instead, Lucy tells her father the story of an American Indian leader who was pushed out by canoe into the sea when he became too disgusting, which Eugene understands as an analogy with George. Pennyless, George gives up his job as a clerk, and finds more high-paying jobs at the chemical plant, giving him enough money for himself and Fanny to live. George wanders around the city, stunned by the modern factories and slums that grew up around him. On his last night at Amberson's mansion before it is sold, George prays by his dead mother's bedside. The narrator says no one is around to see him get his comeuppance. George was seriously injured by a car. Lucy and Eugene go to his hospital and put up with him. In the hospital corridor, Eugene tells Fanny that Isabelle's spirit inspired Eugene to bring George back under shelter, meaning that he and Fanny were financially secure.

While Welles supplied the narrative to the film adaptation, Ray Collins was the only actor from the radio production to appear in the film.

(December 2018) (Learn how and when to delete this template message) Orson Velez directed The Magnificent Ambersons Magnificent Amberers was in production October 28, 1941 -- January 22, 1942 at RKO's Gower Street Studio in Los Angeles. The set for the Amberson mansion was built like a real house, but it had walls that could be rolled back, raised or lowered so the camera appeared to pass through them in a continuous take. RKO later used many of the film's sets for its low-budget films, including a series of horror films produced by Val Lewton. The shooting took place in various locations around Los Angeles, including Big Beado, San Bernardino National Forest and East Los Angeles. Snow scenes filmed at the Union Ice Company ice house in downtown Los Angeles. Los Angeles. In 1973, in an interview with Dick Kavett Moorhead, she recalled a difficult job before filming her climax, where she drowned against an unheated boiler. At the rehearsal, Welles said Moorehead (who was still obedient to shoot acting) was playing him like a little girl, a feature that went against what Moorehead had prepared. Then Velez told her to play like a crazy woman. After that, Welles told her to play it as she was completely intoxicated. Then he said play with a completely empty mind. Moorhead thought to himself: What in the world does he want? She made the scene 11 times, each with a different characteristic. For the twelfth time, Welles told Moorhead: Now play. After these rehearsals, her playing scene was a bit of hysteria, she was a bit of madness, she was a bit of a little girl ... He mixed it all up in my head, so the characterization I was playing was a bit of them; and it was terribly interesting. Moorhead went on to reflect on Heles's directorial abilities: He never directed, obviously; it's always directed in some strange oblique way where you thought: Well, it's not the case at all. But if you put your career or role in his hands he loved to shape you the way he wanted and it was always much better than you could do yourself. He was the most exciting director that you could imagine. The film's initial rough cut was about 135 minutes long. Welles felt that the film had been cut and, after receiving a mixed response from the March 17 preview audience in Pomona, film editor Robert Wise removed a few minutes from it. The film was viewed again, but the reaction of the audience will not improve. Because Welles conceded his original contractual right to the final cut (in negotiations with the RKO over the film that he was obliged directly but never did), RKO took over editing as soon as Welles delivered the first cut. RKO removed more than 40 additional minutes and reshot the ending in late April and early May, in changes directed by assistant director Fred Fleck, Robert Wise, and Jack Moss, business manager of the Velez Mercury Theatre. The retellings replaced Welles's original ending with a happier one, which significantly broke the film's elegiac tone. The end of the shot is the same as in the novel. Welles did not approve of the cuts, but because he simultaneously worked in Brazil on It all true for RKO-Nelson Rockefeller personally asked him to make a film in Latin America as part of the good Neighbor wartime policy.- his attempts to defend his version ultimately failed. Details of Welles's conflict over editing are included in the 1993 documentary about It's All True. Of I expected there to be a buzz about a painting that, by any ordinary American standard, was much darker than anyone was taking photos, said Velez biographer Barbara Leming. There was just a built-in fear of a downbeat movie and I knew I'd have that to face, but I thought the movie was so good, I was absolutely sure of its value, much more than Kane... It's a huge preparation for a boarding house... and George Minaffer's horrible walk when he gets his comeuppance. And without it, there was no conspiracy. It's all about some rich people struggling in their house. 244-245 Velez said he wouldn't have gone to South America without the studio's guarantee that he could finish editing the Magnificent Ambersons there. And they absolutely betrayed me and never let me shoot him. You know, all I could do was send wires... But I couldn't go to a job that had diplomatic overtones. You see, I represented America in Brazil. I was a prisoner of the Good Neighbor's politics. That's what made him such a nightmare. I couldn't go out to Mr. Roosevelt's Good Neighbor policy with the biggest single thing they did on a cultural level and just walk away. And I couldn't get my movie in my hands. The negatives for the carved parts of the Magnificent Amberers were later destroyed to free up storage space. The seal of the coarse cut sent by Welles in Brazil has yet to be found and is generally considered lost, along with prints from previews. A team of documentarians led by Joshua Grossberg is planning a print search in late 2020. Robert Wise argued that the original was no better than an edited version. The film reveals what might be considered an internal joke: news of the rise of car accidents prominently on the front page of the Indianapolis Daily Inquirer, part of a fictional newspaper chain owned by tycoon Charles Foster Kane in Citizen Kane. Also on the front page is a Stage News column by the fictional writer Jed Leland with a photograph of Joseph Cotten, who played Leland in the previous film. The magnificent Amberson budget was set at $853,950, roughly the final cost of Citizen Kane. While filming, the film switched budget by 19 percent ($159,810), bringing welles' value cut to $1,013,760. Subsequent RKO changes cost $104,164. The total cost of the painting was $1,117,924. The score is 2:71-72 Like the film itself, Bernard Herrmann's score for The Magnificent Ambersons was heavily edited by RKO. When more than half of his score was removed from the soundtrack, Herrmann bitterly severed ties with the film and promised legal action if his name was not removed from the credits. I wrote the script and directed it. My name is Orson Velez. It's Mercury. The magnificent Amberson is one of the earliest films in the history of cinema, in which almost all credits are spoken by behind-the-scenes voice and not shown printed on the screen-technique used previously only by French director and player Sasha Guitry. The only credits shown on the screen are the RKO logo, mercury produced by Orson Velez, and the title of the film shown at the beginning of the film. At the end of the film, Heles's voice announces all the main credits. Each actor in the film is shown as Welles announces his name. As he says every technical credit, the machine is shown performing this function. Heles reads his own credit - My name is Orson Heles - on top of the image of the microphone, which then retreats into the distance. Because of that, I had a lot of hell, Velez later said of his verbal sign. People think it's selfish. The truth is, I just spoke to an audience who knew me on the radio the way they used to hear on our shows. In those days we had a huge audience - in the millions - who heard us every week, so it didn't seem pompous to finish the film in our radio style. 1970s Welles's revisit In Conversations (1969-1975) with Peter Bogdanovich, compiled in This Is Orson Welles, Welles confirmed that he planned to shoot the end of the Magnificent Ambersons with the main cast members, who still lived: Yes, I had an outside chance to finish it again just a few years ago, but I couldn't swing it. The guy who was going to buy a movie for me disappeared from sight. The idea was to take actors who are still alive now- Cotten, Baxter, Moorhead, Holt- and make a whole new end to the film, twenty years later. Maybe this way we could get a new release and a great audience to see it for the first time. You see, the main intention was to portray the golden world -- almost one of the memories, and then show what it's turning into. Having inspired this city of dreams of the good old days, the whole point was to show that the car destroys it - not only the family, but also the city. It all worked out. There are only the first six reels left. Then there's the sort of arbitrary bringing back down the curtain to a series of clumsy, fast devices. The bad, black world was supposed to be too much for people. My entire third act is lost because of all the hysterical tinkering that went on. And it was hysterical. Everyone they could find was cutting it down. According to Variety, the film managed to earn $1 million at the box office in the U.S. and Canada. However, this was not enough to recoup the cost of the film, and he recorded a loss of $620,000. The critical reception of The Magnificent Amberers is considered one of Heles' masterpieces. In the Los Angeles Times, Kevin Thomas argued: Although reams were written about the mutilation of Orson Helles the feature that is left of it, however, is a major achievement. Jonathan Rosenbaum of the Chicago Reader called his misanthrope extraordinary and wrote that the film contains some of the best acting in American cinema. The magnificent Ambersons ranked 81st in the 2012 Critics' Survey of Sight and Sound about the greatest films ever made; he also received four votes from directors, one of whom was Terence Davis. In 1991, The Magnificent Amberson was selected by the Library of Congress to remain on the U.S. National Film Registry as culturally, historically or aesthetically significant. The film was included in the 1972 list of Sight and Sound in the top 10 greatest films ever made, and again on the list of 1982.
