I hope that it ISN'T the Coppola/Zoetrope version, but rather the latest Brownlow restoration.

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.
