Reviews
Starring Joseph Cotten, Dolores Costello, Agnes Moorehead

As the dawn of the automobile age transforms the world, a feud between a young heiress and her inventor beau sets off a chain of events that will haunt both families for generations. Despite its director’s clashes with the studio, Welles’ equally ambitious follow-up to Citizen Kane stands as a bold, moving American masterpiece.

This screening is presented in conjunction with the course Orson Welles: Hollywood Enigma, taught by Jennifer Fleeger, Ph.D. Seating for screening-only attendees will begin at 7:00 pm. Just want to see the film? Purchase your tickets from this page.
