A very interresting video. I have had more people ask me about this video over the years, and I finally have it now. This is the version of the movie that was shown in theatres back when it was released. When it beame available on video, there was almost 45min worth of footage added in, but there were 2 scenes that Elvis dialogue was overdubbed. Nothing really groundbreaking, but I guess people just wanted to see it unedited.
Quality is very good.
Aprox running time 1hr 45min. One of the perks of having a satelight dish is you get all sorts of weird channels. I grabbed this one late one night. This directors cut has the scenes that were added for video cut back into the original version for a complete print that runs 2hrs 45min. This video was not made by someone, it actually aired on a network called True Stories this way.
