It even shows it on the Cover. If any of you guys knows somebody at
Fox would you please contact them and
make sure the Blu-Ray(which should be released later this year in the
USA and UK) isn't done this way.
These people obviously don't have a clue what an Entr'Acte is.

There are a hell of a lot of roadshow films that are flubbed like this.
And it's totally unnecessary. About a minute's worth of research would
tell them where that hunk of music goes. You'd think that when you're
doing a massive special edition of a film like "Cleopatra" that at one
time or other an actual film print would be viewed, but I guess not.
The biggest flub of all was the extremely shitty MGM Home Video release
of "How The West Was Won" that wasn't anamophic AND it had that godawful
Turner logo inserted between the overture and main title, IN FULL FRAME.
Sometimes you just want to slash your wrists.

It's always twice the volume of any thing bearable. It's a horrible logo
and horrible music. You'd think Warners would have a vendetta out for
it. Hey maybe I'll start a letter writing campaign.

CLEOPATRA is still the most spectacular film ever made especially if
you saw it in 70mm when originally released. The film (at over 4
hours) was overlong and slow moving but the music was great. A pity
we will never get to see the 5 hour version that it was originally
meant to be. The mising footage must be somewhere in storage.. The
good old days of cinema going and seeing films on giant screens is
long gone. Now we have to endure crappy digital films with overloud
sound and shrunken imax screens (that is if you go to the movies
today).The 2 hour "making of" film was the best of it's kind.
