The Magnificent Ambersons

(1942)Directed by Orson Welles88 minDrama, Romance
“Real life screened more daringly than it’s ever been before!”

Why does George Minafer (Tim Holt), the pampered grandson of the Amberson fortune, work so hard to keep his widowed mother Isabel (Dolores Costello) away from Eugene Morgan (Joseph Cotten), the man she has always loved? Orson Welles narrates the family's rise and slow decline. What stays with you is the Amberson mansion, its wide staircase and long rooms, filled with a family that cannot say what it means.
