Confused about runtime

I am a bit confused about the runtime. Here, it says "96 minutes". But all the home video prints I've seen online, both NTSC and PAL, say "92 minutes". Even the review in the New York Times, from when the film first cams out here in America, says "92 minutes" (Well actually, it says "91 minutes", but close enough).

So I do not know if the NTSC and PAL video versions are sped-up or not. One of the best ways to tell would be to look for any signs of "ghosting", common in PAL speed-up.

sorry if this adds to the confusion, but Warner Archive is releasing this on August 19 at 92 minutes!

Turns out 92 minutes was the film's correct running time, without any PAL Speed-Up.

JasparLamarCrabb, Warner Bros. owns the rights to the Brut Productions library. Hence why they are releasing it.

You think one day, they will put out Miracles Still Happen? This Italian film was the first of two pictures Susan Penhaligon made for Brut Productions. In that film, she played Juliane Koepcke, the one and only survivor of the December 24, 1971 crash of LANSA Flight 508 in the Peruvian rainforest.

I can't imagine they won't release all those Brut films...there were very few.

I'm waiting for WELCOME TO ARROW BEACH (I'd seen an old VHS version of this and it's pretty creepy)
