Should clasic movies ever be touched? This demonstrates that a YES is the way to go. The narrative and tone of this movie is vastly improved upon, and not just because of Rooney's excision. This movie should always have been a bitterweet and sublime experience, and the commecial pressure at the time led to many deviations from the source material. The editor has addressed thes as best can be done with the material avalable, and the tone is greatly imprived. There are a few segements that feel unaturlly short, but having now also viewed the original, it is appropriate to the editors objective, and I aplaud the courage to apply those changes. Niether Hepburn nor Peppard's performances are diminished in any way; in fact, they play better for the changes made. If you have not seen this in a while, this is an ideal way to revisit, and frankly it does not feel like 26 minutes were removed...it feels like it should feel IMHO, and I hope others will concur. Thankyou for the vision and execution. I'm off to brunch!
