I’ve noticed lately, specifically on Tubi, that many older films have run times that differ from other sources. Those sources being Wikipedia and IMDB.
For example, The Finnish horror film The Witch (aka Return of the Witch) from 1952 has a runtime of 1 hr 17 minutes, which is different from the 1 hr 20 mins being cited on the sources previously mentioned. Tsui shark’s The Butterfly Murders suffers from a similar disparity in runtime, as it it cited as being 1 hr 28 mins, but Tubi has it as 1 hr 23 mins. An Occurrence at Owl Creek Bridge and a few Mizoguchi films have the same issues.
Is it edited? Return of the Witch still had the nudity, so I don’t think that was the issue, unless it was more gratuitous in the original runtime. But what of the others? Does anyone know?
