Title: Not quite the definitive edition
Review: I have loved this play since I saw the original Broadway production (with most of the same cast as the film) and wore out a copy of the original cast recording LP. This is a wonderful film and I watch it every July 4. Unforunately, as noted by others, this DVD version fails to include the entire 180 minute laserdisc restoration verion released in the early '90s. While some of the cuts are forgiveable (the overture and intermission music) others are criminal, particularly the failure to include the full version of Piddle, Twiddle, and Resolve and the reprise of The Lees of Old Virginia. As I recall (and I no longer have a working laserdisc player to check) the video quality of these scenes (especialy Piddle, Twiddle) was pretty rough and they may have been cut for that reason. In any case, I've deducted a star for the cuts. Hopefully they will be restored on a future Blu-ray edition, possibly with seamless branching.
