Book Presentation:
This work presents the author's own insight to Orson Welles's film "The Magnificent Ambersons". Second only to "Citizen Kane" in work, this film can never be seen as he intended it after being heavily cut by RKO. However, it remains a remarkable picture of dynastic ruin and social change.

About the Author:
Through his collaboration on Movie magazine in the '60s, and his book Film as Film (1972) V. F. Perkins helped revolutionize British film criticism. A pioneer also in Film Studies, he has lectured on Film at Warwick University since 1978.

Press Reviews:
"A magnificently passionate book" -- Sight and Sound "Exquisite." -- Time Out
