Haven't seen it in years, but this was always one of my favorite films of all time -- despite the fact that it's such a tearjerker, I start crying before the plot actually calls for it. Amazing that it was made in 1944, not years after the war.

Just watched "Magnificent Ambersons" (on a TCM binge!) and think I should read the actual book to begin to understand what the producers changed about Welles' version, which I imagine was closer to the novel.
