I attended this in Westwood last night.
The whole program ran 2hr 40mins with live narration in some segments by Robert Gitt. He told us that he had edited the outtakes to follow the order in which they appeared in the film. We also got to see segments with Laughton reading passages from the bible and yelling commands at the actors & Bob Mitchum using some dirty language. The films opening intro was supposed to have been given by Laughton himself, then he instead decided to ask Lillian Gish to do it. I had planned to ask Bob Gitt about the forthcoming dvd release, but didn't see him after the show ended. IF we get what I saw last night, then fans of this film will LOVE it.
