damn! I did too, and right during my free preview of TCM! Do you know when the next showing is?

TCM is good at showing it once in a while so just keep an eye out for it. I will also and post it on this web site when it is announced so refer to this web site fairly often. I don't think it is scheduled in July and August but keep coming here. You will get a second chance.

Awesome! ^^ I'll try to record it with my DVD-RW and upload it to bit torrent so a digital version of the restored film can be available to the public...unless, of course, the illegality becomes a problem.

Just post it. We fans can watch the complete version, only if someone posts it on the torrent. and by now no one has uploaded the complete version. But, keep in mind: if the legal dvd version appears in the meantime, and u have uploaded it u should erase it. We should support the dvd relelase by buying it. If the people are not buying, that would ruin the guys at WB who tried to make a good dvd edition of this great film. They would work for nothing.

True. So I guess we'll keep our fingers crossed for the next tv airing. :3

Valentino has a copy. He's in the process of
getting it authenticated now.

Valentino is Loren Estleman's fictional "Movie
Detective" and found the copy in an old time
Movie Theatre he just purchased in downtown
L.A.

The book is "Frames" and it's fascinating.

Acctually speaking of Friends finding a digital copy, my mate Phil, has just found a copy of the long version on Rapidshare!

Anyone want the URLs?

reply

[–] The_Fresh_Aphorism 16 years ago

O_O Is it the restored version?!

reply

[–] Demonfire267 16 years ago

I don't know. He didn't say. But apparently its a good quality tv rip!

reply

[–] The_Fresh_Aphorism 16 years ago

*fistpumps vigorously* If it's a tv rip, it has to be the restored version! Wait, that is, unless TCM isn't the only broadcaster, or they stopped using their restored version...I must DL so I can see for myself! XD

T_T thanks so much, but my laggy internet will take forever to download all those parts. I'll work on it though, and we all def. have to keep it alive.

It works, you don't need the second part 14 to assemble the files. It's the four hour version with German subtitles, recorded from arte, in good quality. I'm shutting down my mobile and my internet connection right now, lighting a candle and opening a bottle of red wine before putting the freshly burnt disc into my dvd-player. I've been waiting years for this... Thank you so much!

[–] Demonfire267 16 years ago

No problem, i'm glad i found it too! I'm working my way through the book '1001 Movies You Must See Before You Die', and the short version is in there, but some of the films in there are impossible to find. This being one of them.

Last Film I Watched:
The Hills Have Eyes (1977 Version) = 7/10

Thank you so much!!! I am so glad to finally see this film.

[–] VonCouch 16 years ago

Not the most legal way, but if anybody uses bittorrent there's a torrent up of the restored version. Just use a search engine like isohunt and search for "Greed stroheim". Just finished watching it after a several year search and I'm glad to finally have it under my belt.
