GENERAL NOTES:
An American/British co-production, the film exists in three principal versions:
- the international cut (98 minutes at 24fps) as seen on most DVDs;
- the U.S. theatrical cut (91 minutes at 24fps) from Quartet Films and released on VHS by RCA/Columbia, deleting shots and short scenes for pacing with the major deletions being the clock striking seven at 14:00 during the library scene which the housekeeper interprets as a portent of death which explains Annabelle's later reaction to the clock only striking six times distracting her from the disappearance of the lawyer (roughly 1:30) and an extended portion at 41:00 of Hendricks' meeting with the guests in which he diagnoses psychopathology in each of them (roughly 5:30);
- an expanded version (102 minutes at 24fps) which reinstates previously deleted material, most notably some short comic bits (involving Paul, Cecily, Susan, and a snippet from the filmed will of Cyrus West) as well as an expansion of a scene between Paul and Annabelle talking about their childhood crushes on each other. -
