The fact that RKO cut nearly an hour out of Orson Welles’ follow-up to Citizen Kane and it still stands as one of the greatest films ever made has inspired decades of pained what-ifs. Welles shadows the title Midwestern clan as their 19th-century wealth and influence succumbs to onrushing modernity and simple hubris. Every scene is a jewel. -Lee Gardner
