'Greed' (among others in the transcript) is also in the works, but no release date.olaf675https://www.blogger.com/profile/12338969118523875197noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3634886419866749682.post-33908416471457356732007-12-02T18:15:00.000-05:002007-12-02T18:15:00.000-05:00Thanks Brandon, Man that reminds me that I have to...Thanks Brandon, <BR/>Man that reminds me that I have to check out THE TRIAL and ARKADIAN soon.

However, I'm not quite the Welles disciple that many are.Brandon Colvinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02373364966092756041noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3634886419866749682.post-85945070853865706552007-11-29T18:49:00.000-05:002007-11-29T18:49:00.000-05:00I love this film, and find it to be insanely movin...I love this film, and find it to be insanely moving. If the missing footage was indeed ever found, it would have to be considered one of the most important artistic discover in cinema history. <BR/>It is tragic what was done to Welles work throughout his career...it is to his credit that even in when brutalized by the hands of butchers, his work still holds up. <BR/>I've heard rumors of an eventual release of this on Region 1 disc, but as of yet I haven't seen any clear sign of a release date or possible extras...<BR/>CITIZEN KANE might be the most untampered work that Welles ever released, but I think THE MAGNIFICENT AMBERSONS is my favorite...great post.Nostalgia Kinkyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02506680500183270767noreply@blogger.com
