I'll be honest... black and white movies are always so intimidating to me. Even though the majority that I have seen have ended up being wonderful I definitely have to be in the right mind set to press play.

For the latest episode of NostalgiaCast '70s Palooza, Jonny and Darin tackle the faux-documentary / biography / proto-YouTube video essay that is Orson Welles's F FOR FAKE. They talk about the movie as an examination of authorship over art, Welles's (brazen but ultimately unsuccessful) attempts to explode the documentary form, and how a story of charlatans, magicians, and frauds slots into the legendary director's manic career.

The Magnificent Ambersons

Our 1942 RKO episode is a very special one, with films by two of the studio's outstanding auteurs, writer-producer-director Orson Welles, and B-horror unit producer Val Lewton. First, we look at Orson Welles' mutilated (some even say "emasculated"!) masterpiece, The Magnificent Ambersons, exploring the movie's extraordinary characters and performances and giving our opinion of the ending imposed by the studio. Then we turn to Val Lewton's first production for RKO's horror unit, Cat People, grappling with its metaphors and digging into its unusual love triangle. And then, in Fear and Moviegoing in Toronto, we discuss an adjacent film, Bell, Book and Candle, in which Kim Novak's slinky witch falls for normo Jimmy Stewart - but with a very different outcome.

The hosts take a look at two infamous examples of films altered and changed by studio intervention. One of the earliest and most egregious alterations happened to Erich von Stroheim's 1924 Greed. Does the remaining footage yield as close to a masterpiece as its fabled original 9-hour cut?Despite the prestige of Citizen Kane, Orson Welles' The Magnificent Ambersons was not saved from the butchering hands of meddlers. Does the end product carry the gut punches the original was intended to have?

Jackie and Greg attempt to reconstruct the family home for Orson Welles' THE MAGNIFICENT AMBERSONS from 1942. Topics of discussion include the film's torrid editing history, Welles' restless invention coming off the heels of CITIZEN KANE, the miscasting of Tim Holt, and why it remains one of the greatest "what-ifs" in cinema history.#81 on Sight & Sound's 2012 "The 100 Greatest Films of All Time" list.https://www.bfi.org.uk/sight-and-sound/polls/greatest-films-all-time-2012Check us out on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/sceneandheardpodCheck us out at our official website: https://www.sceneandheardpod.comJoin our weekly film club: https://www.instagram.com/arroyofilmclubJP Instagram/Twitter: jacpostajGK Instagram: gkleinschmidtPhotography: Matt AraquistainMusic: Andrew CoxGet in touch at hello@sceneandheardpod.com

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.

Two dear friends and Film Festival colleagues attempt to bridge the gaps of their long-distance relationship AND their own film educations through a bi-weekly screening and discussion project of the gap films that have eluded their cinematic discovery.On this week's call, Scott and Jack discuss the 1942 "alternate film" by the great Orson Welles, THE MAGNIFICENT AMBERSONS. 

Orson Welles followed up his monumental Citizen Kane with this similarly-themed film about money, privilege, self-destruction and---say it with us---comeuppance. One of the most-influential directors of all time didn't even get to finish The Magnificent Ambersons though because the studio took it away from him in post-production. We can't have a talented-but-iconoclastic kid go and make 2 masterpieces in a row, right?! As good as this truncated version is, you have to wonder what might have been if they let Welles finish it his way. Joseph Cotten, Tim Holt and the rest of the actors are pretty solid, but the direction, the camerawork and the overall filmmaking are the strongest part of this family-focused classic. So put the car before the horse as our 441st Ellises' Analysis hashes out the magnificence of the Ambersons.

Synopsis On today's date in 1942, the RKO studio released a film titled “The Magnificent Ambersons,” based on Booth Tarkington's Pulitzer Prize-winning novel chronicling the declining fortunes of a wealthy Midwestern family and the massive social changes in American life caused by the arrival of the automobile. The film was written, produced, directed, and narrated by Orson Welles, who hired the great film composer Bernard Herrmann to provide the film's score. The film was nominated for four Academy Awards, including Best Picture. You would think Welles and Hermann would be pleased – but quite the opposite was the case.  As conceived by Welles, the film ran 131 minutes, but after unfavorable reactions by a preview audience, RKO took control of the film, cut 50 minutes, and rewrote and reshot a more upbeat ending. Half of Herrmann's score was also cut, and another composer brought in for the new scenes.  In disgust, Hermann asked that his name be removed from the film's credits. Despite RKO's alteration of its creators' vision, many still regard “The Magnificent Ambersons,” as one of the greatest films ever made, thanks to what remained of the original conception by Orson Welles and Bernard Herrmann.

This week we watched Orson Welles's ill-fated follow-up to Kane, THE MAGNIFICENT AMBERSONS (1942). A beautiful period piece, sadly reduced to a skeletal structure by the studio. We discuss Jon's move back to the burbs, George Clooney, the breadstick screen presence of Ryan Gosling, Bjork's singularity, old Hollywood, Suicide Squad, and Red Robin! We always manage to confront a variety of important subjects. Available here, and wherever you get podcasts.

First up Jake and Sydney talk Robert Pattinson as Batman, Rome, and Ted Lasso. Then, it's on to this week's Welles Mann redux. First, is the HBO movie "RKO 281" (1999), about Welles' struggle to get his movie "Citizen Kane" made. Then, they give Orson Welles' masterpiece, "Chimes at Midnight" (1965), the old college try. Finally, to round the Orson Welles experience, Jake watches "The Magnificent Ambersons" (1942), for the first time. Then, it's time for Michael Mann's stunning directorial debut, "Thief" (1981), featuring a powerhouse performance from James Caan as the titular thief who wants to go straight.

The "Dirty Sons of Pitches" are once more practicing social distance and watching a pair of movies to talk about with their latest podcast model. This week's classic is Orson Welles' The Magnificent Ambersons," where the studio sliced out 50 minutes and reshot a happy ending. The cult movie is a childhood favorite of Ben's, 1985's "Explorers." Will it become the latest in Ben's realization that the movies that made childhood impressions on him were not actually good? Available on iTunes and Spotify Episode 264 includes: -R.I.P. Fred Willard and Lynn Shelton. -Ben doesn't understand why "Scoob" is trying to be a backdoor pilot for a Hannah Barbara superhero universe. -Josh Trank's "Capone" is a movie that tears down the mystique of its gangster lead. -Bonus discussion: whether Ridley Scott's own re-cutting of "Blade Runner" with footage from "Legend" is -Classic Movie -- "The Magnificent Ambersons" (1942) -Orson Welles' famous "Kane" follow-up that was gutted by studio interference drives Ben crazy. Nate tries to see what Welles was setting up to be taken away. -Cult Movie -- "Explorers" (1985) -Joe Dante's very Speilbergian adventure with young Ethan Hawke and River Phoenix building their own flying saucer. It's successful whimsy for once, plus, as with all 80s movies, there's peeping.

We're kicking off 2019, with a trip back in time! It is a look back to turn-of-the-Century Midwestern America with Orson Welles's adaptation of Booth Tarkington's The Magnificent Ambersons (1942). Film historian and author, Professor Joseph McBride joins host Lady P to talk about the legacy of Welles' feature follow-up to Citizen Kane. McBride delves into the film's fraught post-production--a process which ultimately resulted in the dismantling of Welles's directorial vision. While the film may not reflect Welles's original intentions, there is still much to admire about the craftsmanship and storytelling in the film as it currently stands. Indeed, despite the careless studio mutilation, Ambersons is still held in such critical esteem that it managed to snag the 81st spot on the Sight & Sound Critics Poll. Lady P and McBride discuss the film's enduring appeal and how the nostalgic remembrance of a time long since past is still as relevant and moving today as it was when the film first debuted. This is the third in our trilogy of recent podcasts with McBride. See our previous discussions on Ernst Lubitsch's Trouble in Paradise and our episode on Welles's (new!) film The Other Side of the Wind. And make sure to check out McBride's interview feature on the new Criterion Blu-Ray of The Magnificent Ambersons.  Note--this episode was recorded well in advance of its release. Please disregard the ending note detailing upcoming episodes. We are still in the process of preparing our slate of podcasts for this new year. 

The boys are back in 2019 with 3 more randomly selected movies!

Mike (@mumbles3k) and Max (@JMaxHegel) are watching all of Orson Welles’ directorial efforts leading up to The Other Side of the Wind, the director’s new film set to be released over 30 years after his death. On this episode they discuss Welles’ follow-up to Citizen Kane, The Magnificent Ambersons. Already, on his sophomore film, Welles dealt with studio interference and a seemingly forever-lost alternate cut. How does the film hold up now, as is it as bad as Welles thinks it is?

In our 100th episode we're talking spine #9 in the Criterion Laserdisc Collection: Orson Welles' THE MAGNIFICENT AMBERSONS from 1942.

We have officially made it through the Top 50 of the Sight and Sound Greatest Films of All Time list! Let's all pat ourselveson the back and celebrate a job partially done. In all seriousness, this a proud moment for our show and we're excited to mark the occasion. Let us continue our commemoration of getting a 5th of the way through this seemingly endless list by raising a glass to one of Hollywood's most enduring and tenacious screen icons, Bette Davis. Today's show is the second in our three-part Bette Davis marathon: All About Bette. In our first entry, we discussed Davis's career-defining turn in Joseph Mankiewicz's All About Eve (1950). This time we're tackling a less-widely seen Davis film, the 1941 adaptation of  Lillian Hellman's play,The Little Foxes (1941).  Lady P is joined once again by Kristen Sales and Anne Marie Kelly to talk about why The Little Foxes deserves greater recognition among Bette's filmography. Talking points include Davis's relationship with the film's director, William Wyler, and the deep-focus cinematography courtesy of Director of Photography, Gregg Toland (which inevitably leads to comparisons with Citizen Kane). They also attempt to put the film in historical context and talk about why 1940s Hollywood was so into making turn-of-the-century family dramas (see also Meet Me in St. Louis and The Magnificent Ambersons). Finally, they decide whether or not The Little Foxes is worthy of the Flixwise Favorites list.  

In celebration of Indiana's Bicentennial, Infinite Gestation discusses The Magnificent Ambersons, the Pulitzer Prize winning novel by Booth Tarkington. Georgie Minafer (third generation Amberson), with his desire to become a yachtsman,  personifies the height of smug aristocracy by his refusal to embark upon a career or make a life for himself. The arrogant assumption that he might live upon his family's wealth and status indefinitely is sorely mistaken, for it is the end of a gilded age for the Amberson family. Once the epitome of wealth and the toast of the Midland City (a thinly veiled Indianapolis), the realized potential of the automobile and industrialization of the city causes massive growth that edges out much the old guard in favor of families of "new money".  The Ambersons are among those left behind, though Major (the patriarch) manages to conceal the state of such affairs until after his death, forcing his heirs to start from scratch and make their way in a city that no longer remembers the Amberson name.

From theater to radio to Hollywood…the ambition of Orson Welles, as Patrick McGilligan tells us in his new book Young Orson, was already old-fashioned: he wanted to be an “actor-manager” of a theater company. The leader of a troupe…something romantic about that…and something very Ambersons in its bad timing. “Orson Undiminished” focuses on the early …

This week Bill & Daniel watch Orson Welles' second movie, the Magnificent Ambersons

Nach Ausflügen ins futuristische Los Angeles sowie zum Hause der Ambersons verschlägt es uns nun mal wieder nach Deutschland, genauer in irgendeine Kiesgrube in der Münchner Umgebung. Dort platzt aus den beiden Angestellten Werner (gespielt von Klaus Löwitsch) und Mike (Arthur Brauss) die Gewalt, die Lust. Das Opfer ist Helga Anders' Alice. Schonungslos zerrt uns der Film durch den Schotter, ertränkt uns fast um uns dann noch mit der geballten Faust ins Gesicht zu schlagen.

Wir haben uns gesonnt, denn "Der Glanz des Hauses Amberson" strahlte uns entgegen. Gemeinsam mit Simon Kyprianou, der u. a. für das 35MM - Das Retro-Filmmagazin schreibt, haben wir uns Orson Welles' Film angesehen. Doch wie viel Welles steckt denn in den knapp 88 Minuten? Das Studio zerhackte den Film - er sollte eigentlich etwa 150 Minuten gehen. Wir (v)erarbeiten uns gemeinsam Zusammenhänge und entdecken die Stärken des Films. Im Schlussteil driften Christian und Max dann noch ab und tauschen sich über Sinn und Unsinn von Podcast und Filmeschauen aus. Und streuen nicht nur zu Beginn der Folge ein paar weitere Filmpodcast-Tipps ein.

The George Sanders Show takes a trip to nostalgia-land this week, with discussions of Orson Welles's second feature, The Magnificent Ambersons, from 1942 and Jia Zhangke's second feature, Platform, from 2000. They also pick the movies that most evoke their own youths, talk about Orson Welles in general and speculate on the karmic potential of pigeons caught in wood stoves.
