165 Minute Director'a Cut....


John Schlesinger originally delivered the film at a length of around 165 minutes. He was forced to cut the film by approximately 25 minutes before the film's premiere engagement. The film stayed at this length and the 165-minute director's cut has never been seen. Among the victims of the cuts was Bill Nighy, whose character Tom was deleted.


Yanks is simply one of my favourite films of all time... I would pay dearly to see the 165 minute directors cut.... if anyone knows how this version could be obtained I would be forever grateful????
