My understanding is Orson spent many years seeking out financing and hundreds of hours editing the footage he had - but my hopes aren't up for anything outstanding in the context of a Orson Welles film.
But I don't love everything he did. I never understood the acclaim F is for Fake enjoyed.
The real heartbreaker is the altered ending grafted on to Magnificent Ambersons due to studio meddling. It's a great film despite the ending and could have been a masterpiece if Orson had full control. The original ending footage is lost.
Have a great day
