What was cut from the Original Version

They recently showed this film on Israeli TV, and apparently managed to obtain the original version, since all of the things that you say were cut from the original version were shown.

The DVD release has the removed scenes and the shortened scenes in full -- but only as supplements.

It looks like it was a pretty decent version of the play before they cut it with a blunt axe. Shameful. Why they couldn't have restored it instead of presenting it in pieces I don't know.

I might do it myself at home some day via editing.

<< Many of the songs were cut by a verse. >>

Arrgggh! When the 1965 film *Camelot* reached the neighborhood screens, some overpaid self-designated genius shortened it to acceptable run time by clipping anything repititous in a song, like the "refrain" or whatever this guy called it. What do the simple folk do?, well, who cares? The ghosts of Lerner and Loewe (never mind they were still alive) should have attacked the bounder.

That's what F. F. Crappola did here, just snip a verse here and there, nobody'll miss it. From "Try to Remember," for Gods' sake! Infamnia.

Um, and the biggest part that was cut from the movie WAS THE MUTE!!!!!!!

The mute was absolutely the best part of the show, but since they made it into a movie they could just "get rid of" the mute and use the actual objects. A tragedy in my eyes. The MUTE brought the show together. The movie, blegh.

And every scene with Teller too! He was Mortimer, the actor who dies.

It's a shame really. I was lucky enough to go to a screening in 94 or 95 of the whole thing and it was a charmer.

in the stage play the song" plant a radish" was sung after the "epasode" were the old actor and the man who dies dressed as pirates caries matt off stage and the narator says
" now grant in your minds a month
October is over and the sky grows gray
a month goes by
It's a little colder
a month goes by
we're one month older"
the farthers meet in there gardens as the muts is rebilding the "wall"
the fathers then reconcile and sing "plant a radish"

if you have a good pentium class computer do what i did
rip the dvd
splice in all the cut parts in the correct places "as in the stage play"
burn it back to a duble layer dvd and you will have a gem then will be very watchable

warning
on a P4 3.00 Mhz.HT computer with i gig memory and a 256 Meg video card it will take about 12 hours to rip correctly
8 or 9 hours to edit and splice the parts in
and another 6-7 hours to render the video back to dvd

THATS WHAT IT TOOK ME.

even though its nof perfect some color shifting and one part where i mised cut a seen and it jumps back about a second if you can prove that you own a copy
of the dvd for a small charge i will send you a copy of my re edit for a small charge to cover my costs. it. bet my contact information from my web site www.nbicomputers.com
