It, along with Greed perhaps, is one of the holy grails of missing films. <BR/><BR/>They had that version with the Freddy Mercury soundtrack in the 80s that was supposed to be the fullest version they could do, running at about 90 minutes, but then more footage was found to bring it up to 120 minutes, but supposedly, and who know with some of the stuff you read on the Net, the 210 minute version has now been found.I.J.

The only fault I can think of is the minor one that Peter Lorre was such an odd-looking bloke that it helps to perpetuate the image of the child-killer as being someone who is easily identified - he's the little creep with mad staring eyes!I.J.
