Was this cut down for TV?


It seemed like it was edited for time and had horrible cuts to commercials, then came back to something else.
Did anyone see this in theaters and on ABC?

Nevertheless, I thought this was great. And I love seeing MJ the way I remember him.

I believe it was cut down by an hour. Everywhere I read about it calls it the "64 minute version" and I know it played at TIFF for 2 hours like it says on the main page.

There are no more white horses or pretty ladies at my door.

Yes it was cut down, I am watching the uncut version on BBC2 right now. Its brilliant they could have left out Justin Bieber , he was making everything about him(Beiber) but the longer version is much better

Yip, just watched it too on BBC2. I haven't seen "This is it" so can't compare. All I can say is that I thoroughly, thoroughly enjoyed this documentary. I missed the 1st hour but will watch this again, I just hope they do a rerun.

FYI, the 'full' version, that was aired in the UK, channel BBC Two, on 2012-12-01-Sat was 2h:11m:16s long.

Hope that helps you get the full one.

(and yes, Bieber was in it, but hardly adds anything to the conversation, so really don't worry about it.)
