This edition is a poorly edited version of the TV Miniseries. It was edited to be under 2 hours. Avoid this and buy the special edition instead.

I will keep this short and to the point. Do not waste your dime on this DVD. You are better off taping the movie to VHS and/or DVD (and editing out the commercials) when it comes on television.
The original, uncut movie is about 3 hours long. This DVD version is 114 minutes (UNDER TWO HOURS). Do the math. They have cut out almost an ENTIRE HOUR of the movie.
