Incorrect running time in the listings for TCM


I don't know if this has happened with other showings, but be warned that the running time may exceed the listed running time by at least 15 minutes on TCM. Recently my TiVo gave a running time of 1:30, but the actual time was more like 1:45. If you plan to record it next time around, you may want to pad the end of the recording.

I saved it to DVR this morning when it ran on TCM. The info showed it had 4 stars so I was curious. Only 40m recorded though the total run time said 95m. I was able to watch it in full and free right on the IMDB site (with commercials). Go to the top of the screen under the movie poster.

I'm not a fan of this movie.

Thanks, but I had padded my recording, so I saw the ending. On TCM I now do this regularly just in case, if it's a really good, rarely shown film, because this has happened before on that channel. I also notify the listing service (Tribune Media Services, now part of Gracenote), and they usually get it corrected.

I also burned this movie to DVD a long time ago from TCM, but I'm too lazy to dig it out, so I watch it on my TiVo DVR when it comes around.
