The Magnificent Ambersons



I've just finished watching the 1940's film, "The Magnificent Ambersons".

I completely enjoyed it. I've heard so many people say bad things about it, although on the contrary, I've heard many people say good things as well. As with many things though, the bad commentaries stick out. I usually like things others don't. I will actually be honest here and say I believe this was my first Orson Welles film. Meaning, that he has directed. I won't promise, but I think so. He is genius. I see what people mean. I love his direction. Gorgeous.

Agnes Moorehead, of coarse, was my reason for seeing the film in the first place. I actually have the book sitting by my bed too. When I get into something, I follow through. I get introduced to many, many interesting things this way. Try it sometime.
