Originally posted by Don Vercetti: [b] New York, New York - (Martin Scorsese;1977;USA) After WW2, a saxophone player and a singer fall in love in New York City but soon struggle in their relationship. A very good film that could've been great, suffering from overlength and at times losing track of it's characters in the musical numbers. Them music is great however, and the acting is very good. What impressed me the most was how this was a tribute to the Golden Age of cinema. I loved the various set pieces and backgrounds used from old films. [/b]
How long is the version you got? The one I have s 123 Minutes long (Pal what should be around 128 NTSC)... But I found this information on IMDB:
Originally four and a half hours long. Director Martin Scorsese cut it to 153 minutes, then to 136 minutes. In 1981 some material (mainly the 'Happy Endings' sequence) was restored and the film became 163 minutes long.
Now 4.5 Hours would be "overlong"...
