Synopsis:

This version adds to the reconstructed Theatrical Cut 3 musical numbers including the crucial proposal scene. There is no Intermission, Exit Music or Overture. This is my GOTO version and includes the newly constructed ending as intended by George Cukor in HD.


Intentions:

To expand the theatrical cut without any of the reconstruction of the roadshow version challenges.


Change List:

This edit takes the reconstrcuted Theatrical cut and expands it with only full sequences.


Additional Notes:

This edit takes the reconstrcuted restoration and does a number of things: 1. Remove ALL the stills used to pad out the full audio that was discovered. 2. Retain all the removed musical numbers. 3.. Reconstrcut George Cukor's orginally intended orchestration and editing to the final scene now that a stereo version of the music exits and to do so in HD for the first time (previously this was an SD recreation that was on the DVD and Blu Ray).
