Alternate versions for
The Oblong Box (1969) More at IMDbPro »

  • The MGM DVD is the complete uncut version running 96m. Previous USA VHS releases were only 94m whilst the old UK VHS was trimmed further to 91m (87m in pal). The UK VHS was missing:
    • about 1m out of the pre-credits sequence (various small trims)
    • a scene in which Vincent Price and Hilary Dwyer walk in a garden talking about Africa
    • The murders of Carl Rigg and Uta Levka were abridged
    • Ute Levka's brief nude shots were missing
    • a short scene in which Christopher Lee administers a tonic to a patient was removed. The USA VHS restored some of this missing footage but Levka nudity was still missing, her death was slightly abridged and the short Lee scene was missing. The 2008 Optimum DVD features the full uncut version.


  • The Thorn-EMI Video version and some TV prints slightly trim the murder scene of the prostitute, in which Edward gropes at her chest and slits her throat. Originally, her breast is briefly visible and the cutting of her throat are both longer.
