Runtime: 120 min. / 105 min. - HUH?


IMDB says that the USA DVD runs for 105 minutes (correct) but the original film runs for 119/120... Did we get gypped or something?

Last Films Seen:
Double Indemnity 9/10
The Lost Weekend 8/10
The Killing 7.5/10

Both 105 and 120 minute runtime versions are available from Amazon. They have almost (but not exactly) the same cover. The cover art is the same, but the 120 minute version in addition includes three festival awards overlaid in the upper right quadrant. I know the Netflix DVD is the 105 minute version. If I read their listing correctly, the Blockbuster DVD is also the 105 minute version. I suspect (but don't really know) that the "Extended scene - Vicky in Japan" that appears as one of the Features on the 105 minute DVD accounts for much (but from the running times not quite all) of the difference.

I felt like falling asleep at 60 minutes so i'll stick with the 105 minutes I think.
