The Magnificent Ambersons - 1942 ***


I seem to be going through a spate of disappointing films recently. This was an offering that I was sure would impress me, but actually it didn't, and the only positive thing I got from the film was watching Joseph Cotten prance around for an hour and a half. Nice to see Orson Welles giving the main part to Cotten (they bonded in 'The Third Man') but even the fact that he directed this film didn't mean it was worthwhile. Based on a book of the same name, but don't think I will be reaching for it quite yet.
