Watch the original
This version (presently available on DVD and US release) is the edited one. Like so many foreign films at the time, was edited for “American audiences”. Since the studio had the rights to the film, there was nothing Pontecorvo could do, but watch his masterpiece reduced to nothing. 22 minutes were cut. In addition the DVD version is very poor. The aspect ratio has been changed, and the copy is very poor. As a result of the cuts, the subtle undertones of the relationship between the main characters was altered, as well as the political undertones. Pontecorvo had already conceded the change of title and script change (Spanish island to Portuguese island) because Generalisimo Franco’s protest, and his threat not to allow distribution in Spain. It’s ashame that at this point the directors cut version is not available , at least as an alternative to the average viewer. It is available , in the Italian DVD . It’s in Italian language, with Brando’s voice dubbed. The dubbing in this case doesn’t take away from Brando’s performance (his personal favorite). It has English subtitles. Pontecorvo himself edited this version before his death. It’s quality is much better, and has the original aspect ratio. Occasionally shown at art festivals. My rating applies to this version . The real masterpiece .
