According to Bluray-disc.de the runtime for the German BD is 123 minutes, you might want to quiz Jarfa about the specs he posted here in the database.

It's based on Amazon http://www.amazon.fr/dp/B0083U91ZO
123 m is the theatrical time
Conversions to PAL or NTCS rating times gives different times in discs in many cases, i guess

The database listing of the German BD is listed as 118 min. The review over at bluray-disc.de however says 123 min at 1080p24 so can't be a PAL conversion issue or else the disc would have been 1080i50.

Does the french disc have removable subs?

Just discovered this film, one of my favorites, is on BD. Will be ordering both the German and French discs to compare them, I love it that much

Also, here's a link I found to caps from the French disc. It looks great, considering the age of the film and the fact that it's not a bestselling title that's going to get a gorgeous new 4K transfer or anything.

Do NOT buy the French BD, it is garbage. Buy the German BD instead.

This disc has two strikes against it:
- Forced French subs for the English-language version
- 1080i transfer from a PAL-spedup master, making the film 5 mins short. There is NO EXCUSE for a PAL-spedup HD version of a film. None!

Thankfully the German BD is 1080p, correct running time, with NO forced subs. Buy that superior disc and not this coaster.
