We will be running this soon, in digital form, probably in October, but the date is not fixed yet. I've never seen the film, can somebody tell me if it has an overture, if so we really need to get a problem with our curtains fixed before then, and does it include an intermission?

I ran the film in 1985 and it played straight through.

No overture, intermission - just a regular 164 minute feature.

There might have been some roadshow prints where an overture and intermission was used.
