1. Aspect Ratio is 1.56:1.

Technically, the image as a whole fills the entire 16:9 screen. However, the actual movie image is windowboxed within this i.e. has large black borders on all 4 sides. The width of the movie image is the same as a 1.33:1 frame, but it does not fill the height. Overall, the movie image aspect ratio is about 1.56:1 (i.e. the currently stated 1.66:1 is incorrect).

This information should be updated in both the "Aspect Ratio" and the "Notes" fields.

2. Total runtime is 88:08.

This consists of the following:

00:00-00:25 text card:

The following presentation of AUSTRALIA AFTER DARK
contains recently discovered footage never before released in
America, perhaps the world.

Unfortunately the only existing master of the extra footage
contains a visual timecode. We hope this does not interfere
with your enjoyment of this fully uncut version of the film.

00:25-87:58 movie picture and audio

87:58-88:08 audio (music) continues over black image

Therefore, the total runtime is 88:08, with the net runtime for the movie, including all the audio, being 00:25 shorter at 87:43.
