The spoiled young heir to the decaying Amberson fortune comes between his widowed mother and the man she has always loved.
Excellent direction, cinematography and storytelling (despite being drastically cut); however, there are at least two unnerving performances among an otherwise stellar cast.
Halliwell****: "Fascinating period drama told in brilliant cinematic snippets; owing to studio interference the last reels are weak, but the whole is a treat for connoisseurs, and a delight in its fast-moving control of cinematic narrative."
Maltin****: "Brilliant drama...Welles' follow-up to CITIZEN KANE is equally exciting in its own way, though film was taken out of his hands, recut and reshot by others."
