Hi. As you know, the only surviving version out there is 49 minutes long. I wonder if the 63 minutes is available somewhere?

I really doubt it. We're lucky to have the print that currently exist, as the film was totally lost for nearly 40 years. Fortunately the truncated edition is still pretty fascinating to watch.

A 35mm print that is supposedly 65 minutes is playing this Halloween at BAMcinematek. I wonder if this means lost scenes have been discovered. I'd love a more complete DVD or Blu-ray.

According to Google, it’s a minute over 3 hours long...?
