For Cineversary podcast episode #50, host
Erik Martin revisits the magnificence of
The Magnificent Ambersons,
Orson Welles’ follow-up to Citizen Kane that marks an 80th anniversary this summer. For this commemoration, Erik partners with two outstanding guests: film scholar
James Naremore, author of
The Magic World of Orson Welles; and filmmaker
Joshua Grossberg, director of the forthcoming documentary
The Lost Print. Collectively, they discuss why The Magnificent Ambersons remains a cherished cinematic work, why RKO removed 43 minutes from the film and how it significantly altered Welles’ vision, and the search for this lost footage.
