Anecdotes
• The Splendor of the Amberson Orson Welles is not a sensation when it released in the cinemas. In fact, it is projected into the rooms after a other movie, Mexican Spitfire Sees a Ghost.
• To improve relations between the United States and South America, Welles is sent to shoot a movie in Brazil by Nelson Rockefeller, a shareholder of the RKO, even as the Splendor of The Amberson is shooting. Taking advantage of her absence, the committee of the RKO bringing together Robert Wise, Jack Moss, Joseph Cotten, Harry J. Wild and Russell Metty assert their right to the final cut. The film now lasts 88 minutes (instead of 141 !) and the fall is replaced by a “happy end”.
• Orson Welles said : “They destroyed Ambersons and it destroyed me ! “. The RKO is indeed responsible for the re-installation of the Splendor of The Amberson, the cancellation of the brazilian project It’s all True, and its eviction of the project Journey in the land of fear in favor of Norman Foster. This gives it the reputation does not go to the end of its commitments : during four years, Orson Welles will be more than an actor.
