What a great write-up! I’m glad I was able to help out and be in the right place at the right time for all of this! I suppose there could be another version in the works with the credits removed and the intermission corrected. (maybe even make it 15 minutes long haha)
I’m glad too!
And yes I suppose that could be a V2 fix. And anyone who doesn’t want to wait 15 minutes can fast forward.
I find it ironic and strange that in the 2000 release they gunned for accuracy for a title card by putting the RKO title card in the correct place. And they removed the end credits. Meanwhile they ruined it in most every other respect.
