I have a good story about that Kino print. It showed at festival in Delaware some years ago that I was attending. There was a noted academic who had written about it that was presenting it. She was stunned to see the actual complete Odessa Steps scene which she had only scene in the infamously cut version. I could not believe there was a university professor who actually did not know what the scene was uncut.
Also MANY years ago there was a discussion on videolib about a version put out by Republic that was indeed the awful edited version. Milos from Facets joined in ( as the copy had been bought from them) and said there must be some mistake no company would sell the evil edited version, then he went an viewed it and pulled it out of the catalogue since it was indeed edited but it was not a problem as the company White Star had lovely version through Corinth ( oh they probably have 16mm too). I remain shocked about both a professor and video company using an infamously cut version On Wed, Apr 18, 2012 at 11:41 AM, Dave Dvorchak <ddvorc...@provcomlib.org>wrote: > Thanks, both of you! > > > On Wed, Apr 18, 2012 at 11:37 AM, Elizabeth Sheldon < > elizab...@kinolorber.com> wrote: > >> Dave, >> >> Jessica is right and I have passed your question on to my colleague Gary >> Palmucci, who oversees print rentals at Kino Lorber. >> >> Best, >> >> Elizabeth >> >> Elizabeth Sheldon >> Vice President >> Kino Lorber, Inc. >> 333 W. 39th St., Suite 503 >> New York, NY 10018 >> (212) 629-6880 >> >> www.kino.com >> www.kinolorberedu.com >> >> >> On Apr 18, 2012, at 11:18 AM, Jessica Rosner wrote: >> >> There are a lot of the famously cut prints around but I would try Kino >> and see if they still have a 16mm.

VIDEOLIB is intended to encourage the broad and lively discussion of issues relating to the selection, evaluation, acquisition,bibliographic control, preservation, and use of current and evolving video formats in libraries and related institutions. It is hoped that the list will serve as an effective working tool for video librarians, as well as a channel of communication between libraries,educational institutions, and video producers and distributors.
