Synopsis:
Based on the novel by Booth Tarkington, Welles' film (with high-contrast cinematography by Stanley Cortez) exposes the decadence of small-town landed gentry, as symbolized by the Ambersons' crumbling 19th-century mansion. Pursuing his passion for technical experimentation, Welles continues to explore the moving camera and deep focus techniques that he developed with Gregg Toland for his virtuoso masterpiece Citizen Kane
