  I don't know what is holding up the DVD release of this movie, particularly since it came out on VHS long ago. I saw it in 1981 at Radio City Music Hall with Carmine Coppola conducting a live orchestra playing his score. The triple - width "Polyvision" sequences were overwhelming. It was apparently the first time that three synchonized projectors were used for the triptych effects since Napoleon's original release.

    It is so long that I saw it! I wish I could again, it was filmed in a way as you had the feeling to be there there.
    You are lucky to have been able to vision it the way it was though of. Must has been a great experiences!

      His DVD is stated to be coming, so I got myself on waiting list.

      The tapes are $69 on Amazon for used ones, so I will look on ebay.

      • I hope that it ISN'T the Coppola/Zoetrope version, but rather the latest Brownlow restoration. - Audiophilander 10:34:57 03/30/04 (0)

        Carmine's score notwithstanding, the Zoetrope version is still butchered and has inferior quality footage. Brownlow has done three painstaking restorations of this film, finding more and better footage from various sources along the way and precisely reintegrating the footage to within 50 minutes of it's original release length. (See URL)

        Unfortunately, rights issues have held up an official DVD release of the longer, more complete version in this country as well as elsewhere; that's a real tragedy. Note: I believe that the film can be shown publicly, but that all private (i.e., software based) distribution rights are still firmly held by the Coppola family.
