He said, \"\u003ci\u003eThey\u003c\/i\u003e destroyed \u003ci\u003eAmbersons\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eit\u003c\/i\u003e destroyed me.\" In 1942, while Welles was away, RKO Studios drastically recut the completed film. None of that deleted footage is known to survive.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eNow film scholar Robert Carringer has reconstructed Welles's own version of \u003ci\u003eAmbersons\u003c\/i\u003e, using all available surviving evidence including rare studio documents and the recollections of Welles himself and other original participants in the film.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eCarringer reaches startling conclusions about where the responsibility for the film's undoing ultimately lies. His spellbinding--and no doubt controversial--book will be eagerly welcomed by film historians and enthusiasts.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Robert L.
