About this product

Product Information

As Wes Anderson's The Royal Tenebaums opens, FilmFour presents a double bill of films in honour, the first featuring a similarly dysfunctional family. Orson Welles second film after Citizen Kane should have equalled if not surpassed his materpiece but it was slashed by Rko from 132 to 88 minutes and a happier ending was imposed. Even so, enough remains for it to one of cinema's classics. Set at the turn of the century in the Midwest, the film concentrates on George Amberson Minafer (Tim Holt), spoilt grandson of family patriarch Major Amberson (Richard Bennett). The family's majestic house at the edge of town reflects their status but as times change and industry rather than old money begins to rule, slowly, their aristocratic pretensions are punctured and destroyed.
