content: While the theater release of GETTYSBURG was very well recieved, the DIRECTOR'S CUT is much richer and far more entertaining. For the uninitiated audience the first 15 minutes are critical for setting the historical stage. Especially scenes cut from the theater release (i.e. Buford's dialogue with the citizens of Gettysburg, etc.), The 35 extra minutes of footage makes this epic work truely engrossing. ALSO, the Gift Set includes a wonderful video on THE MAKING OF GETTYSBURG.
