I'm pretty sure it's not a feature of "The Deadly Mantis", but a core of unspllit digests never actually having gotton to the point of being boxed and sold! You don't see these all that often! [Smile]

So it's an unslit lab run. By "Long version" I'm expecting either 175' or 330' only, and thus this film amounts to several copies times two. I suppose if you bought it and had it slit, you could then sell these as multiple new prints, albeit without original reels or boxes.

I agree with Bill. The scene with the Eskimos is very early in the Castle Films complete edition (as described by the seller), while this takes place later in the full length film.

Yes, very interesting OP! I'd bid on it, but don't collect that genre.
