Print just arrived - no time for testrun. Do any of You recall - wasn't this one born with an intermission (and when)? - It is the 2 h 45 min version, but there is no sign of break anywhere.

That doesn't mean it never did, or that the European version may not have had one. It's such a beautiful movie, why interrupt it;>  |  IP: Logged Per Hauberg Jedi Master Film Handler Posts: 883 From: Malling, Denmark Registered: Jul 2000 posted 11-19-2010 10:12 AM                        Thanks, Martin The very first time around, european print were cut to something like 2 hours, spoiling the whole thing. This is the first full-lenght version, we have seen in Denmark. Normally, I claim that when You pass 2:15 without an intermission, You get noise in the auditorium from one running out to take a leak after another. IF this film allows it, I prefer an intermission. Besides, I had to run OUATITW from tower with 4000 meter reels (12000 ft), and the film was over the edge, which I definitely don't like - but I did run without pause.  |  IP: Logged Markus Lemm Expert Film Handler Posts: 113 From: Ottawa, Ontario, Canada Registered: Nov 2005 posted 12-05-2010 01:35 PM                        Once Upon a Time in the West (1968) Scope Mono 10 Reels 175 Minutes  |  IP: Logged
