Description

Orson Welles considered "The Magnificent Ambersons" the crucial turning point in his career. He said, "They destroyed Ambersons and it destroyed me". In 1942, while Welles was away, RKO Studios drastically recut the completed film. None of that deleted footage is known to survive. This study reconstructs Welles's own version of the film, using all surviving evidence including rare studio documents and the recollections of Welles himself and other original participants in the film. It reaches startling conclusions about where the responsibility for the film's undoing ultimately lies.
