PROMPT: Robby 1968 sometimes is listed as 91 minutes long, I want to see the full version but where? RESPONSE: Finding the full 91-minute version of Robby (1968) is difficult because that cut is largely considered lost or extremely rare. While some catalogs list the original runtime as 91 minutes, most available versions today are the edited 60-minute or 57-minute cuts. Why the 91-minute version is missing --Original Cut: According to the AFI Catalog of Feature Films, an early print did run 91 minutes. It included a more dramatic, racially charged ending where the characters were forcibly separated. -- Distribution Issues: The film struggled with wide distribution due to its extensive depiction of nudity, leading the producers to self-distribute in a limited capacity. -- Editing: Subsequent releases were often trimmed down to the 60-minute version most commonly found today. Where to find the film Because it is not currently on major streaming platforms like Netflix or Max, you have to look toward specialty collectors and niche sites: -- Physical Media: You can sometimes find DVD-R copies through specialty retailers like Loving The Classics, though these are typically the 60-minute version. -- Specialty Archives: The site CVMC (Children's Video Management) has historically listed the film for collectors. -- Streaming/Rentals: It is listed on MUBI, though its availability varies by region and it is often "not currently available to stream". If you find a version for sale or rent, verify the runtime before purchasing, as almost all modern copies are the shortened 60-minute edit. Are you looking for this specific film for its cinematography or because of its unique take on the Robinson Crusoe story? AI responses may include mistakes. I think I saw the long version once, because I was confused when I saw the shorter Award version. But I can't find it again, and I swear--I did a thorough search! Too bad... Maybe you could check BitTorrent and see if it's available... Or try eBay? Does that help? |
