 The 222 minute running time excludes the Overture Music (played  before the credits), the Entracte Music (played during the  intermission) and the Exit Music (played after the film ends). All  three were especially recorded for the film soundtrack, and were  heard at the films original 1939 world premiere. They were seldom  played by exhibitors until the 1997 New Line Cinema edition of the  film restored them. They are also included on the DVD.
