Abel Gance's silent masterpiece, Napoleon, was given a limited run
on its debut in 1927, but soon afterwards distributors in France
and America, unwilling to deal with its nine-hour running time,
subjected it to savage cuts - with devastating results for the
movie and for film history. The struggle across ensuing decades to
restore and reintegrate Gance's film has formed a backdrop to an
array of formal, contextual, and ideological battles. In this book,
Paul Cuff takes account of those battles and challenges received
opinion on Gance's view of both his film and its subject.
