Did the 170 minute version ever get a release in the USA? To my knowledge, it's never had a run in Australia, although I know the Electric Cinema in Portabello Rd in London ran it but I had already left the cinema by that time.Has anyone seen it? Here is what the IMDB says about the alternate versions... http://us.imdb.com/AlternateVersions?0095765 ---------------------- "It's not the years honey, it's the milage" Indiana Jones.

>>"I don't know what the model of the projector is but I remember it was stamped, "Prevost", on the side. (In the 'first' theatre.)"<<Actually both projectors in CP were Prevost. I greek friend of mine said it was pretty typical for the small town theatres to only have one projector. An intermission was expected on all films. I think it was on hour reels though rather than 20 minutes. Steve ------------------ "Old projectionists never die, they just changeover!"

Glorious news!The "director's cut" of Cinema Paradiso is scheduled (as of this post) for a May 2002 release in the US. Naturally it'll go through the Italians' favorite Stateside distributor, Miramax. In downtown Easton PA -- west of where I live -- some local people took over the old UA theater last year and turned it into an arthouse/art gallery. The name? Cinema Paradiso. Now if only MGM would release the uncut Italian versions of all those Clint Eastwood spaghetti Westerns I can die happy.
