I believe they cut it from somethiing like 130 minutes to 88 while Welles was in South America filming "It's All True". Most tragically, the nine minute ballroom tracking shot was really butchered. There are those that feel that, had this not occured, TMA would be regarded as even better than "Kane".
BTW, parts of "It's All True" have been restored and issued and display more of Welles' genius.
