Runtime/ Aspect Ratio ??

I scanned the entries on this site but could not find if anyone had the actual runtime of the theatrical release. Does anyone know how long the uncut version actually ran?

I saw a comment that the Aspect Ratio was 2:35. Was that the original ratio? If the darned thing ever gets released I would sure like to know if it is the original biscut or just another cutdown and aspect fudged copy before forking out the cash. I bought a VHS copy and was sorely disapointed as it was really cut down from the one I saw when it was first released.

It was shot in Panavision, which had an aspect ratio of 2.35 to 1. It had a listed running time of 101 mins. In original American release
