Just a feeling, but I suspect that the stickers are all from the same manufacturer. It is each person's patience factor that determines how difficult it is to remove them.Odd that there are so many differences in the packaging. Some report easy-peel stickers, some are stuck with super glue, and others have no stickers at all. Were these manufactured by three different sources?
I don't feel like loading my disc again, but I believe the runtime is closer to 80 minutes as I noticed that discrepancy too.My order number 1936 arrived just now, a day earlier than the shipping notification estimated. The discs are hard to tell apart from the slipcase, tiny designations on the back cover lower right differentiate the regular Blu-ray from the Ultra HD, but the UHD is in a black case while the Blu-ray is clear. The round sticker on both top and bottom was only on my UHD copy, not that difficult to remove, just be sure and start peeling gently with a fingernail from the inner sleeve area and work it slowly to the edge so as not to pull against the edge of the slipcase and risk tearing it. At long last looking forward to watching this still vivid childhood memory. One discrepancy stands out though: the IMDb running time is 78 minutes, with an alternate version from a British release with added footage listed as 83 minutes. On the disc information for this Ignite release it states a running time of 73 minutes. Is that accurate?

Thanks for checking, that sounds correct then.The exact runtime is 1:19:32. That includes a 5-second Ignite Films card and 42 seconds of restoration notice/credits at the beginning, and a 20-second Ignite Films © card at the end. So, subtracting all that, the film itself is 1:18:25.
A mono film from a 1953 optical track is the best audio you’ve ever heard?My gawd, not one poster had thought to use s razor blade…DUH!
It’s the first thing I did…
Totally enjoyed the movie watching it on a a 123” screen thru a JVC with the best audio I’ve ever heard in a home theater.
