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.
