Running Time?
This site (and two other sources) list the running time as 75 minutes.
The copy I got on DVD, which is apparently from a 16mm copy is only 61 minutes.
Can anyone verify a 75 minute running time?

I have two copies of "Pleasure Garden" one has Japanese subtitles and is 61 minutes long . The other has German subtitles, different credits and intertitles and is 67 minutes long. This was shown again comparetivly recently on German TV and I have a vhs tape of this broadcast ,I have not checked the length of this but I suspect that any time differences between the two German versions is down to projection speed as speed in the silent film era seemed to be at the whim of the projectionist.

The copy I have (which was recorded from Bravo) is 61 minutes as well.

There are two DVDs available at present, one featuring a print from the German National Archives (I think) and another from "The Rohauer Collection", and each has about 10 minutes unique to it, not in the other. Editing them together (which I have done) brings the time to just past 75 minutes.
shareI have a copy from the Rohauer collection with Japanese subtitles.
Runs 61 minutes.
What footage does this copy not have that is included in the German National Archives version?

it too have the same japenese copy and run time is only 60 minutes and 35 seconds
i think its because of the frame rate , my copy is 23.976 fps may be the 75 min version had 15 fps
There is no terror in the bang-
only in the anticipation of it
The restored version just done by the BFI, which put back in footage from about 5 different versions, runs to 90 mins.
