Can anyone answer me this: The original film is 91 minutes long but the DVD is 87. What has happened to the remainder 4 minutes? Has the film been edited or is something else cut out? Thanks.

When a film is transferred to video the running time will be shorter by approximately 4% due to the differing number of frames per second. This does not mean that the video version has been cut or re-edited.

In fact all films are run on tv at 25fps so they will not run the same time.However i have found that films that have been recorded off satellite tv do seem to run at the same time.maybe they run at 24fps.

On the contrary, his full frontal nude head is shown as always, but he modestly covers it up when playing Miss Fritton
