Meanwhile, &#8220;there are novel touches throughout, including the manner in which Welles is done in, and the photography by Russell Metty is atmospheric&#8221;. With that said, the screenplay is far from perfect &#8212; likely due in part to the fact that 30 minutes of the original film were cut, including <a href=\"https:\/\/www.imdb.com\/title\/tt0038991\/trivia?item=tr3974758\">19 minutes from the exposition<\/a>, and a scene in which <a href=\"https:\/\/www.imdb.com\/title\/tt0038991\/trivia?item=tr3974759\">Young first meets Welles and walks with him through the town cemetery<\/a>. However, it&#8217;s still worth a one-time look by all film fanatics. <\/p>\n<p><strong>Redeeming Qualities and Moments: <\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Loretta Young as Mary<br \/>\n<a
