Is this film available on DVD in a format where you don't have to flip the bloody disc over halfway through the film?

The disc I've got is like this, and every time I see it in a shop I check to see if they've sorted this out, but they never have.

IIRC you can if you order it from overseas, so you'd need a multi-region DVD player.

Possibly, or 3rd longest according to this if it does it by length - http://listverse.com/2007/10/05/top-15-amazing-lon...

Not all videos work, but you could find clips manually on YT perhaps.

I was pondering writing, 'used to be', because wasn't sure if it had been overtaken, but took the plunge! Orson Welle's one must have been redone since I read it in Empire, and the other one is of course more recent.biggrin
I used to have it on an Empire tape...ah those were the days.biggrin

edit, not sure now, it may be that tracking shot isn't covered by the others. Haven't seen the redone Evil, and Rope stays in the same room, not sure now what is meant by 'tracking' shot.

Rope is just a load of long shots, the 2005 film sounds like a long tracking shot.

No worries smile

It's such a great movie - possibly my favorite of all time.

Odd question here, but in the scene where Henry is talking to the girl who is the drug mule about going to get her hat , she takes something out of her handbag which is also edited with a big black block put in to cover it up. Anyone know why and what it is ?

yes

Either a cancelled product placement agreement, no permission to use the airline's likeness or refusal to be associated with drug running and the films legal dept got a bit nervous about it.

Fantastic song, and it just accompanies the scenes so well.
