Ah yes, it all makes sense now. Thanks, Douglas. It's almost like those keys in the film!Originally Posted by Douglas Monce
Because both projectors were being used at the same time, one for each eye, so no switch over was possible. About the longest they could get on a standard reel (no platters in those days) was around 50 to 55 min. That was about the limit of a carbon arc as well. Hence the intermission for a movie that is a little over 90 min.

I just finished the second half. I forgot how much I love this film. It's going to make terrific blu-ray.
