I own the VHS version which contains 3 video tapes. This is the original, non-director's cut. As being one who once knew every single dialog of this movie I really missed some scenes in the cut version.
But I would really like to see the english synchronised version once.
Does anybody know where at least some extracts from it can be viewed ? I didn't find anything on youtube.

As a child I loved this film, though.
Edit: Does anybody know Buchheim's full comments to the movie at the time it was being published ?

Don't know if there is a translation somewhere. If not, maybe I should translate and post it ?
