Evelyn Keyes little Indiana town, and “what happens to itand to its inhabitants when the smoking factories of the ‘Nineties re- place the flelds and orchards around it. Old Major Amberson is the most im- portant man in town, and his daugh- ter Isabel is its undisputed social lead- er, ruling the hugely ornate Amberson Mansion in regal style. Isabel throws over talented Eugene Morgan to marry the uninspiring Wilbur Minafer, and Eugene leaves town. Isabel’s son George grows up to be: a spoiled arrogrant brat; twenty years later he is insufferable. Eugene re- turns, a widower with a lovely daugh- ter, Lucy, and builds a plant to make horseless carriages. George scoffs at this example of modern industrialism. When- Wilbur dies the two former lsweethearts console one another, and George is horriï¬ed to learn that his mother plans to marry Eugene, whom he thinks an upstart. ' . t George forces the weak-willed Isabel to abandon her plan. He takes her abroad. Eugene’ 5 business prospers, but the Amberson fortunes decrease; fand when Isabel finally comes home to die and is soon followed by the old Major, George suddenly ï¬nds he is pen- niless and forgotten. How he strives to redeem his wasted life and to make amends for the injury he had done Eugenq and Lucy, forms the dramatic conclusion to the .picture. Young Holt has the role of George and Gotten that of the faithful Eugene with Miss Costello as Isabel. Anne Baxter as Lucy, Richard Bennett as the ‘Major, Agnes Moorehead as Isabel’s gslster-in-law and Ray Collins as her ibrother, have the other principal roles in the ' offening; Erskine Sandford also featured. Lavish settings, not only of the luxu- rious Amberson home but also compris- ing whole blocks and streets of the community at different stages of its development, feature this ï¬lm made for RKO Radio, and add to its en- ;grossing story. Many of the earliest “automobiles†extent were obtained and put into running order for these se- quences, which are said to be among the most realistic ever photographed.
