LuckyDan Posted June 30, 2014 Share Posted June 30, 2014 lots of sources seem to disagree on the run time. it seems the american release version was distributed with an elvis movie as a double bill and its possible the distributor cut some scenes to fit.

LuckyDan Posted July 1, 2014 Share Posted July 1, 2014 it would be odd for portions of stock to deteriorate while the remaining film can still make a coherent edition. the 89 minute running time for the american release was published in this nyt review from 1969. www.nytimes.com/movie/review?res=990CE2D8103AEF3BBC4C53DFBF668382679EDE well the link wont work for me but here is a cut and paste from it A FINE PAIR, screenplay by Francesco Maselli, Luisa Montagnana, Larry Gelbart and Virgil C. Leone, based on a story by Luisa Montagnana. Directed by Mr. Maselli; produced by Leo L. Fuchs; released by National General Pictures. Running time: 89 minutes (The Motion Picture Association of America's Production Code and Rating Administration classifies this film: "M —suggested for mature audiences, parental discretin advised.")

lzcutter Posted July 1, 2014 Share Posted July 1, 2014 The 113 minute running time could have been for the European version. Back then, more than a few films were edited for content here to pass muster with the MPAA ratings board. Over in Europe, the ratings system was different and allowed more leeway with provocative content. Films that faced the MPAA's edits to conform to a Restricted ® or Mature (M) rating here in the states didn't have those same constraints in Europe so studios would release films with fewer cuts to provocative to the European markets.
