  Orson Welles‘in başyapıtlarından “Muhteşem Ambersonlar“, aynı zamanda yönetmenin en talihsiz filmlerinden birisi. Yapımcı firmanın marifetiyle yarısından çoğu kurguda yok edilerek (148 dakikadan 88 dakikaya indirildi) gösterime sokulan “Muhteşem Ambersonlar“, aristokrat bir ailenin çöküşünü ve güç dengelerinin bozulması yüzünden bir anda sınıf düşmesini anlatıyor. George Amberson Minafer (Tim Holt) aristokrat bir ailenin, güç-budalası haline gelmiş oğlu. Bir mucit olan Eugene Morgan (Joseph Cotten) George’un annesine aşık oluyor, ancak kadın çok daha zengin bir adam olan Wilbur Minafer’ın (Donald Dillaway) büyüsüne kapılıyor. Yıllar sonra Eugene şehre geri dönüyor, üstelik yeni bir icadın, otomobilin yaratıcısı olarak... Welles’in ölümünden sonra bilgisayarla renklendirilen filmin kurgusunu ileride birçok başarılı filme imza atacak olan Robert Wise yapmıştı.

  Western

  This one starts differently but, in the end, it is another version of Robert Emmett Tansey's oft-used plot of "employing bad guys as good guys to help the good-good guys capture the bad-bad guys." The warden of the Desert Wells Penitentiary asks Tex Reed and Slim to check the series of bank robberies which have been committed by escaped convicts. Lockwood, head of an opposing political machine, is behind the escapes and robberies, and the escapes are being planned by Red, a convict. Tex trails the next escapee but the hang shoots the man before Tex can question him. Jimmy, brother of Tex's girl friend Mary, is set up, by the gang, to be killed while robbing a bank by Carter who will collect a reward for shooting him. Jimmy is wounded but not killed and Tex arrests him to keep him safe. The gang now wants to get rid of Tex, so they send Red, dressed as a prison guard, with a fake message from the Warden for Tex.
