ACT-E cable station is showing a 155 minute version in June, 2008. I have no idea which cut this is, but it is over 2 1/2 hours long!
shareCan you record this version on a DVD-R, and maybe we can arrange a deal?
shareEncore Action channel, station 532 on DirecTV, gives 155 minutes:

I do not assume this means Encore is showing a 155 minute version. From past experience, I know part of this time will be taken up by previews of upcoming films shown on the channel. For this reason I normally come here to figure out what setting I should use when I want to record something.
This site shows 3 versions of the film. I assume Encore (and MGMHD) will show the 147 minute version because any other version would call for more previews than they normally show:
Runtime: 147 min | Norway:133 min | USA:119 min
I'll try to remember to come back here and let people know how long the film is after I record it Thursday.
[My programming package does not have station 255, the reason I do not mention it in the subject line change.]
I've been holding onto an old ITV recording for like 20 years! It was cut for time (no flag raising scene for instance), but every version I've seen since with the extra scenes, have also been cut heavily on violence and language which is worse.
It would be nice to see a decent release of this film, considering some of the tripe that gets put out on dvd.

How did this work out? I'd be interested to know whether this version's intact, and more to the point -- can we get copies off you :)
I blew it, vitch, and totally forgot to set the timer when it was last on. Groan. It would be nice if there was a quick link at IMDB to have a reminder sent when something is on--like there is at TCM's web site.
Notice how I changed the date part in parenthesis on the subject line? I did a search where I get TV programming and it's on again twice. So I don't miss it early Friday, I just set up a calendar reminder to set the DirecTV receiver and DVD recorder:

I shall report back after I have time to watch it. Don't expect a report, though, for possibly a week. Starting Friday morning my schedule is so full I doubt if I shall get much time to watch anything on TV for a while.
