Synopsis – What to Expect from “The Magnificent Ambersons”
The Magnificent Ambersons is a 1942 American drama film directed and produced by Orson Welles. It is based on the 1918 novel of the same name by Booth Tarkington.
The story is set in a small Midwestern town in the early 20th century. The film follows the wealthy Amberson family, led by Major Amberson (Joseph Cotten). The family is highly respected in the community and is known for its kindness and generosity.
The family’s fortunes begin to decline when Major Amberson’s son, George (Tim Holt), returns from college and begins to take an interest in automobiles. His enthusiasm for the new technology leads to a rift between him and his father, as the Major prefers the traditional way of life.
The rift between father and son widens when Major Amberson’s daughter, Lucy (Anne Baxter), falls in love with George’s best friend, Eugene Morgan (Dane Clark). Major Amberson disapproves of the relationship, as Eugene is an automobile mechanic, and his family is not as wealthy as the Ambersons.
The rift between George and his father is further exacerbated when the Major decides to sell the family’s estate to make way for a new development. George is outraged and attempts to stop the sale, but is unsuccessful.
The film follows the family’s struggles to come to terms with the changing times and the decline of their once-great fortune. It also examines the effect of the changing
