It's a joy to have this complete version of Fabiola and in such a fine transfer. I first saw this many years ago in a severely edited and atrociously dubbed version. It didn't seem to make much sense and the characters became cardboard stereotypes. Now we can see them as nuanced and interesting people in a time of great turmoil. It is one of the most interesting spectacles of all time and I heartily recommend it.

FABIOLA

Another long lost gem from the 50's beautifully preserved on Movie Detective's roster. This print was crystal clear, rich black and whites and aside from the tech features, the film itself holds up beautifully. A real find.

This should be regarded as a great classic. This is the uncut original version. Those responsible for the shorter american version should be ashamed. Great print. M D rules!

Restored

This is one of the films included in Martin Scorcese's, "My Voyage to Italy." It's a complete, restored version that bears little resemblance to the truncated thing he would have seen in New York back in the 'fifties. At maybe 2 1/2 hours, it runs twice as long as the initial US release.
