AND ANOTHER THING...(just joking)

I think MAGNIFICENT AMBERSONS is HALF of the most exquisitely photographed b/w film in the history of American films.

I don't know if you've seen it, but the CRITERION COLLECTION laserdisc was exquisite!  They include a card that told you what frame of the film to freeze on and how to adjust your television in order to see the film the way it SHOULD be seen (I never did it, but you've got to love that kind of attention to detail).  I've kept the laserdisc despite the fact that my player is broken, because I cherish it (as I cherish all of Welles' films...yes...even THE STRANGER).  Keep your fingers crossed!  If CRITERION releases it on DVD you'll also get:

-All the storyboards
-The complete MERCURY THEATRE OF THE AIR radio adaptation of the same story.
-A dry, but informative audio commentary by THE lead authority on THIS film Robert Carringer (author of THE COMPLETE MAGNIFICENT AMBERSONS, a book I adore and recommend to all!)
-A clip (the only extant footage) from a silent film version of Tarkington's novel

and MUCH MORE...
