6 Minutes?

I watched the 'full' movie on YouTube. But it ran only 90 minutes. According to the info here at imdb it's supposed to run 96 minutes. Is the YouTube version an edited edition?

That YouTube copy (the one with the MGM logo in the corner the entire time, right?) runs at 25 frames per second. Since the movie was originally 24 that speeds it up a little and it ends earlier. For a 95-minute movie it would end up running a little over 90. I haven't seen it any other way yet so I don't know about cut material, but the time is just about right for this to be the complete version at a higher speed.

Edit: Saw the official DVD the other day and there appears to be no difference between it and the 90-minute YouTube version except speed. Then again the movie's so static and repetitive it would be easy to miss something, ha ha. No IMPORTANT difference, let's leave it at that.
