movie length. . .

We have seen the complete movie, running at about 128 minutes, and wonder if anyone knows how to find a copy of this version. In the 118 minute version an approximate 10 minute segment between "Senator Boyd" and "Lightcap" in which Boyd cautions Lightcap to "stay clean" for the nomination, is missing. So far we have only been able to find the 118 minute version. Thanks. Judy

I could be wrong, but I remember Boyd cautioning Lightcap, and I've only seen the 118 version.

My copy is 118 minutes, and that scene is intact.

EDIT: The main page has its running time of 118 minutes in its August 1942 release.

And the film is LONG ENOUGH at 118 minutes! And the ending is way too
protracted.
