‎Germany: Peter-Presse / Atlas Films 1966. Original German A1 poster for a 1966 German re-release of the 1942 US film. <br/><br/>Orson Welles' followup to "Citizen Kane" 1941 was utterly different from Kane in style and texture but just as brilliant in its own way. Writer-director Welles does not appear on camera but his voiceover narration superbly sets the stage for the movie's action which fades in valentine fashion on Amberson Mansion the most ostentatious dwelling in all of turn-of-century Indianapolis. Despite the legendarily unsolvable problem of film editor Robert Wise being instructed by the studio-outside Welles' knowledge-to edit away nearly an hour of the film's length it remains a masterpiece of storytelling bringing Tarkington's Pulitzer winning novel to life in high style. <br/><br/>Shipping billed at cost.
