Citizen Kane + The Magnificent Ambersons
DOUBLE FEATURE! Orson Welles directs and stars in a pair of cinema classics!
Often regarded as the greatest film of all time, Welles directed, co-wrote, produced, and starred in his masterpiece CITIZEN KANE at just 25 years old. Following the death of publishing tycoon Charles Foster Kane (Welles), reporters scramble to uncover the meaning of his final utterance: 'Rosebud.' Immeasurably innovative in its approach, technique, and storytelling, CITIZEN KANE endures as a masterpiece of cinema and continues to influence generations of filmmakers.
Welles' acclaimed drama, THE MAGNIFICENT AMBERSONS, follows two generations in a well-to-do Indianapolis family. Isabel Amberson receives a proposal from dashing Eugene (Joseph Cotten) but opts instead to marry boring Wilbur. Time passes, and Wilbur and Isabel's only son, George (Tim Holt), is loathed as a controlling figure in the town. When Wilbur dies, Eugene again proposes to Isabel, but George threatens the union. As George in turn courts the woman he wants to marry, a string of tragedies befalls the family.
