Kino Lorber Blu-ray with 3 cuts of the movie |
29:57 / 37:47-38:03
The TV set can be seen insignificantly longer. Then two more policemen on horses trot across the field where Jeff is hiding. 15.6 sec
31:53 / 39:59-40:23 Jeff is seen a moment longer and then he packs away the shotgun again. He looks around and you can see a boy peeing in the bushes in front of him. After the boy has left, Jeff unpacks the gun again. 23.2 sec
33:11 / 41:41-41:42 Reel change: The shot from the race track is insignificantly longer. 1.6 sec 33:12 / 41:43-42:19 Jeff prepares his weapon for considerably longer. 35.6 sec
Shortly afterwards, another 0.5 sec is lost. 36:33 / 45:40-46:10 Vanessa takes a few more steps outside and talks to a couple there. 29.9 sec
51:17 / 60:54-60:55 Next reel change: Weber can be seen a bit earlier. Thus, his sentence is partially chopped off; "I made you an offer, Jeff and you turned it down." 1 sec
Re-cut 59:11-62:27 / 68:50 resp. 79:42-84:00 The conversation between Jeff and Steve is interrupted in the US version by a flashback that explains how Vanessa got to Weber. The scene comes in the original version about 11 minutes later within a longer, additional scene block (see below). There this flashback is interspersed, so that instead of Steve here Vanessa herself tells Jeff about it. However, there are still two cuts, which we have already mentioned here in the colored box. 60:01 / 80:32-81:20
Steve mentions that the boundaries between legal and illegal can be blurred and would be heavily dependent on press and propaganda. He points to Weber, who is coming into the room. He could be in prison just like Jeff, but instead holds a governor's post. Steve says that they were invited to his table, but Vanessa turns him down. Vanessa is then seen again briefly in bed with Jeff. She insists that there have been richer men than Weber in her life and that she wouldn't have done it for the money. She reaches for Jeff's gun belt. 48.1 sec
60:38 / 81:57-82:11 Sandy threatens Vanessa a little longer; "Don't be silly, any publicity is good publicity. You'll become the number one pin-up of every killer in America. They'll stick your picture to the butt of their machine gun." Vanessa: "Tom, please." 14.3 sec
Note: The minutes following this scene (= another conversation between Jeff and Steve and then Jeff talks to Vanessa) are a good example of way more original audio on the English audio tracks of the uncut versions. The conversation is entirely in Italian, although the US version clearly proves that English audio would have existed for this. 68:47 / 75:10-75:34 The boat trip is significantly longer. 24.3 sec
69:36 / 76:23-76:37 The path through the forest was also somewhat shortened. 13.8 sec
69:43 / 76:44-77:23 After Vanessa briefly got stuck on a tree, a few more steps through the forest are missing. 39.8 sec
71:31 / 79:12-84:07 The suitcase is seen a bit longer, then the scene with Vanessa and Jeff in bed starts much earlier. As mentioned above, this introduces the flashback where Vanessa met Weber - this part was not shown again. For the re-entry after this flashback, the follow-up shot also starts a bit earlier. 294.8 sec (= 4:55 min) in total [of which 195.9 sec are identical to the previous recut]
83:33 / 96:08-96:46 After Jeff has run through the door, you see the pursuers again and then Jeff. He has now arrived in the city bustle and takes slower steps in order to be less conspicuous. So this sequence takes some of the momentum out of the chase and was probably deleted for that reason. 38 sec
87:19 / 100:32-100:34 Vanessa can be seen for an insignificant moment longer. Last reel change, as again seen in various damages immediately before. 1.3 sec The last shot starts a moment later in the US. The end credit and the full credits then differ as well. Also, only the US version still has the MPAA release card.
