At the beginning of the 20th century, the Amberson family was a well-known family in the local area. The young Eugene Morgan (Joseph Cotten) pursues the Amberson family's Isabel (Dolores Costello) to no avail. Isabel eventually marries Wilbur Minafer (Donald Dillaway). The two gave birth to a son, George (Tim Holt). George grew up under the doting of his parents. He was an arrogant child since he was a child, and it became even worse when he grew up. George comes home from college and meets Eugene Morgan, who comes to their house as a guest. At this time, Morgan is already a researcher on power cars. His wife died, leaving him a daughter Lucy (Anne Baxter Anne Baxter) . George is in love with Lucy, and George's aunt seems to have a crush on Morgan. George's father died soon after, and George began to lead the Amberson family. He heard some rumours about Morgan and his mother, severely stopped its development, and took his mother to travel to Europe. And Morgan's car research is growing, but it has been despised by George. George, ignoring social development, is gradually losing everything he had with the decline of the Amberson family.

88 minutes is way too fast, especially for a love-hate relationship between two generations and two families. But you can still see Orson Welles' precise control of sound, light and shadow painting in his eyes. If he can control the editing rights, it may be another classic.

A/88 minute edition. However, this incomplete version has instead made the interaction of the characters in each scene more vividly and sharply portrayed. The reliefs are delicately displayed, but they are pieced together without breaking or even adding radiance to each other. After experiencing the ups and downs of several emotional waves, the audience seems to be able to completely resonate with the characters in those murmured close-ups and superpositions. Why is Orson Welles still so Orson Welles after being "destroyed"? (@"The other side of the wind")

George: How is that for a bit of freshness?
Lucy: What was?
George: That queer looking duck waving his hand at me like that.
Lucy: He meant me!
George: Oh, he did? Everybody seems to mean you.
