Where can I find alternate versions of this film?


I love the director's cut of Le Grand Bleu, but I feel like it is overly long and redundant. I would love to see the 132-minute European theatrical cut.
A few years ago I attempted to buy the theatrical cut on e-bay from a European seller. Unfortunately it was actually extended director's cut (which I already owned in Region 1), despite the item being listed as 132 minutes.

Does anyone know of a reliable place where I could buy the shorter European cut?

I would also be interested in seeing the 118 minute American version with Bill Conti's music.

I think the only version released on DVD is the long version (director's cut).

The only way to get the theatrical cuts is off the TV, VHS or Laser Disc.
Ebay is your best bet there....


Edit: There seems to exist a 2-disc special edition, released in France, where the European theatrical cut is on disc 2.....
