...novel, and this is one of its faults, for it matches Tarkington's rambling and disjointed style. Technically, however, it is once again vintage Welles, replete with deep-focus and up-from-the-floor, down-from-the-ceiling camera angles. The old Mercury Theatre gang is there, Joseph Cotton, Anne Baster, and Roy Collins, but the film cries out for the presence of the master himself. This film is an example of this failing, with bland and amateur Tim Holt as the young Amberson who must cope with the collapsing family empire. The film is thus flawed, but nonetheless carries...
Citizen Kane. Orsen Welles, Joseph Cotton, Agnes Moorehead. Maybe the great American movie. Welles plays a tycoon, modelled after William Randolph Hearst, whose spiralling climb to wealth and power is paralleled by his decline into emotional paralysis. This takes shape cinematically in ever deeper focus shots that oppress Welles ever smaller, ever less impotent and more isolated within the frame. Don't waste your time wondering about Rosebud (it is the name of his sled. Lost innocence, get it. Right, the only woman he ever loved was his mother) Orson Welles...
...bill would cost an estimated $3 to $4 billion a year. It provides for a direct dole to growers of wheat, cotton and feed grains when prices drop below fixed target levels.

Unlike the hero of Truman Capote's The Grass Harp, Egan Fletcher Jr. does not live in a tree house. Home is what passes for a mansion in Kornelius-Above-the-Shoals, the Southern town where his grandfather owns the cotton mill. Egan lives there on the eve of World War II with his mother and sister, a 14-year-old in itchy jodhpurs...
