Re: Hunt for lost 'Magnificent Ambersons' footage in Brazil

I have both the Criterion laserdisc set and blu ray. When playing the movie, I usually alter a couple of the latter scenes to restore them to at least their intended sequential order.

Re: Hunt for lost 'Magnificent Ambersons' footage in Brazil

Going by the report made by the person quoted in Vanity Fair who said he found and ran the full version, it vanished soon afterwards. We don't know for certain if the archivist there actually ran it.

Re: Hunt for lost 'Magnificent Ambersons' footage in Brazil

Hi. I am new to this post. Like others contributing, I love AMBERSONS and wish Josh Grossberg every success. It is terrific that we have a few glimpses of the shattering, otiginal ending in the trailer. I recently purchased a still of Joseph Cotton and Agnes Moorehead which I am sure is from that en...
