uncut?
How long is the series that is on the DVD is it All 15 hours or how long is it?

Wrong!! Paramount had no choice but to chop off some material, and the DVD release all totalled is missing about 2 1/2 hours of content. I would say that comes to roughly 10 minutes from every hour of programming. They released the syndicated version that ran on the hallmark channel
Hope that helps
What all is missing, then? And why were they "forced" to cut material?
"I cut my finger. That's tragedy. A man walks into an open sewer and dies. That's comedy."
Looking at the bottom-literally, the bottom-of my boxed DVD set of Winds, I see that it is listed as running...voila, 14 hours 39 minutes.
shareNonsense. It's complete.
shareThere seems to be some missing scenes or some comments made in the film infer that there is some missing material:
--(As I mentioned in a previous post), one of the DVDs ends where Pug is on an RAF plane back from bombing Berlin. One of the pilots tells Pug "I hope you speak French" implying that they will land in France. The next DVD shows Pug back at his apartment in London.
--On a plane en route to Pearl Harbor from Wake Island, Pug is writing to Pamela that he was trying to cable her from Tokyo. I did not see a scene where he was in Tokyo..
You might infer that scenes are missing, but the comments do not imply that. In the first example, the pilot is aware that things could go very wrong and uses those words to prepare Pug for the worst. As it happened, however, they were not shot down, hence Pug's appearance at his apartment.
In the second case, the comment merely informs us that Pug traveled to Pearl via Tokyo--worth mentioning, since only a few days after he passed through Tokyo, Japan and the US were at war. But, the filmmakers wisely refrained from showing us every minute of Pug's journey as it would have added unnecessarily to the length of the presentation.
