Note about the original pressing and replacement disc
Sadly, the initial pressing of this release is missing a scene (well, part of a scene). This occurs at around 95:30 into the film, when Nat Danziger (Everett Sloane) is sitting on the couch talking with Charles Castle (Jack Palance) and Marion Castle (Ida Lupino). This is missing a whole speech about money and Charlie's response - it's about 66-seconds long. (The faulty disc's runtime is 112:20.)
To obtain your replacement disc, please email the team at support@arrowfilms.co.uk with THE BIG KNIFE in the subject header along with details of the best address to send your replacement disc to and your proof of purchase (this can be a screengrab of your order confirmation or a photo of your receipt). If you no longer have your proof of purchase, please write the date and your full name on the face of your disc and attach this photo to your email. -
