And this film was reissued in 1979 in Dolby A Stereo, but was cut to 149 minutes for that re-release by United Artists.  |  IP: Logged Monte L Fullmer Film God Posts: 8367 From: Nampa, Idaho, USA Registered: Nov 2004 posted 11-06-2005 04:43 PM                     I ran "Fiddler" back when it came out in '72 (and back then it was an a good ol UA release before Cimino destroyed everything and caused Transamerica to sell off UA),no Dolby track was available (who heard of Dolby back then, you saw this on pre-recorded cassettes and 8-tracks..but not for cinema use) with just a good ol' fashioned mono track recorded by Western Electric. BUT, did see the 70mm version earlier that year. Now, that was an excellent performance! -Monte  |  IP: Logged
