fashioned roadshow attraction.  The original cut of the film had an intermission and may have run as long as  three hours. Landis was asked to cut the film after premiering a lengthy  directors cut (of an answer print) at the Picwood Theatre in West Los  Angeles. That version has been lost. Landis originally tried to restore the  original cut several years ago, but found that Universal had thrown out all  the outs, trims, negatives, and mix tracks. Landis and George Folsey Jr.  restored 18 minutes from another preview print on an AVID for the Collectors  Edition, and correctly timed the picture so that Stephen Katzs photography  looks as it was intended to look.
