The Paradine Case - 125 minutes version available?


Hi Everyone,
I found out an information that is very interesting.

http://stevenderosa.com/writingwithhitchcock/paradinecase.html

Here in this website, it is clear that the only version made available on video was the 125 minute cut.

But we only have 114 minutes version. Here is the link.

But the Paradine Case version in England is only 1 hour and 49 minutes.

Here is the link to the version in England.

But its possible that The Paradine Case (VHS version) has 125 minutes.

Here is a link to the VHS video.

Here is a VHS version that says it has 125 minutes.

In this website, it shows that 125 minutes version still exists.

This video version was released in France.

I also found an information about The Paradine Case laserdisc.

"The Paradine Case" was available on Fox Video (FOX807680) but
is currently "cancelled" according to Digitainment's search
engine." This information was posted in 1997.

The Paradine Case---Hitchcock's Magnus Opus

I don't care about the 125-minute version, or the 114-minute version, or the 1 hour and 49 minute cut, or even the 132-minute version that New Yorkers witnessed---what I want is the original three-hour version Hitchcock turned over to Selznick! So, there!

The Paradine Case is definetely Hitchcock's magnus opus.

I wish I could get 3 hours version. What I am trying to do is to collect all of the missing scenes and gather them together.

So I thought 125 minute version may help to collect 11 more minutes. It may help at least a little bit.

I have to contact Disney about The Paradine Case, because they own the library of Selznick.
