What happened with the arc-lights during production?


One of the IMDb user reviews, the one by col. Bat Guano(?), states:

The lighting was another crucial element in the overall mood of Crisscross. Many of the scenes were lit with Arc Lights, which cast a unique light. These lights which date back to the earliest films were very different than conventional lights and required special consideration on location. Logistical challenges combined with the above mentioned talent challenge resulted in some scenes being entirely omitted from the final cut. The end result is a good film that would have been much better had all of the scenes been usable.


Anyone know any more detail on this?
-What went wrong?
-What kind of scenes were they used for?
