README.txt
Erich von Stroheim's original edited version of his film was over 9 hours long.  Many efforts to shorten it, by Von Stroheim and others, resulted in various versions at different lengths, but the only one that was originally released by MGM was the shortest of the lot, 2 h 15 m, cut by Joseph Farnham acting on orders from Irving Thalberg.  This post is of the c. 1990 TV broadcast version, jointly released by Thames Television / Turner Entertainment, with a new score by Carl Davis.
