"Royal Hunt Of The Sun"

Firstly, thanks for your mention of it last week. I'd seen a little on tv some 50 years ago and had long sought to see the full film.

I saw a watchable but seemingly truncated copy on youtube. It ran about 95 minutes but IMDB has a running time of over 120 minutes.
The acting and script made it a worthwhile exercise. The Shaw and Plummer interaction was the highlight. The direction and editing was all over the place - possibly due to the unintended cuts?

Based on what I watched - 6/10....but there was potential for more if the missing scenes were available.


Hi Aussie

This version 1hr 46... which has 10 minutes additional to the youtube version but I couldn't say what.... ROYAL HUNT


This seller seemed to have a full version ROYAL HUNT  and I got excited.

but its just a link to AMAZON where you can PAY FOR the 96 minute version


It IS possible imdb incorrect  about running time... When I get back to my flat will try to locate some contemporary reviews of film and check
