43 mins is almost 3 x 400'. Why didn't just add 3 mins extra ?

If the nett running time is 43 mins, how it is gonna be spooled? 43 mins is 860' films.

The good news is this is going to be released on polyester stock. It will be in stereo and scope. It is being released in two parts with the first part coming out late this month or early next month. If I remember right, the first part is just over thirty minutes and the second part about twelve minutes. I put my order in.

I could be tempted here. I enjoyed the film. With the padding cut out this should be a fast moving action packed adventure.

Of the cutdowns 3x400ft always seemed the perfect length.

I love the smell of film in the morning.

Even with a three-reeler there will be a lot to cut out in the editing as the film runs for 141 minutes.
