The Magnificent Ambersons background

The Magnificent Ambersons

The decadent heir to a declining family fortune disrupts the romance between his mother and her long-held love.

Eugene Morgan, a charming but reckless man, is rejected by Isabel Amberson, daughter of a wealthy family, who instead marries Wilbur Minafer, a steady but unexciting man. Their son George grows up spoiled and entitled. Years later, Eugene returns, now a mature and successful entrepreneur, and rekindles his romance with Isabel after Wilbur's death. However, George's jealousy and his eccentric aunt Fanny's interference threaten to sabotage the relationship, leading to a series of tragic events that ultimately lead to George's downfall.
