American Pop Classics DVD Edition May Have the Longest Running Time


I've just watched the American Pop Classics DVD version of this film. Though on the back of the DVD case it indicates a running time of only 95 minutes (matching the IMDb running time), in fact the movie runs about 99:38 to 99:40 before the music after the end credits cuts out. So if anyone is looking for the longest version out there, this may be the one.

The downside is that on this DVD edition -- not on the DVD case, but in the title sequence in the print itself -- they use the alternate (and I presume later) U.S. title of "My Love for Yours." Why they did this, I don't know, unless the best print they could find had the alternate title rather than the original one. In any case, the image and sound are pretty good on the American Pop Classics edition, which can still be purchased new through Amazon.

I've submitted the alternate running time to Amazon so that others will have this information. But Amazon may well reject the alternate time. Last time I tried to submit an alternate running time I was told that the discrepancy in time had to be significant, i.e., more than some % (I think maybe 5%, but I can't remember) or they would not allow it. This is an irritating rule, as often only 2 or 3 minutes of a film is cut in some editions, but it's an important 2 or 3 minutes and movie fans will want to know about it. But we'll see. Maybe they will let the change go through.
