Three cheers for RKO!
just saw this "holy grail" for the first time, in a college film series, and it's actually quite terrible. Beautiful, yes. Elaborate, yes. Busy, yes. But over acted, and over-written. Holt and Moorehead were awful. And it just rambled on and on, tedious inter family squabbling. RKO was entirely correct to butcher this down to size - can you imagine the horror of having to watch another hour of this pretentious claptrap!?!
