I can't help but wonder, the way people today often cull their affectations from film, music, and television—maybe it starts the other way around, maybe it doesn't—if just a few generations ago it was common for someone to express their anger with another in such a melodramatic, but simple and elegant way.
I've never seen this film but will if it comes here. I'm sure it has it's moments that make it worthwhile
"The Magnificent Ambersons" is one of my favorite films and had it not been cut AND released after "Citizen Kane", might have been Welles' best film and an American masterpiece. I just find Joseph Cotton er...magnificent in that film. His soliloquy on the automobile's future at the dinner table is just extraordinary. What a terrific story and movie. I highly recommend another Booth Tarkington story rendered well to screen, "Alice Adams" featuring Katharine Hepburn.
