Yes, Anasdottir, it had indeed been shown on telly in the 1980s
and had stuck in my mind as it did in yours. The 1999 date was
however the first time it was shown uncut and I knew that date
because I caught it on video then. I was aware the running
time was - unusually for telly - longer than the Film Guides suggested
but only found the detail about what had been restored when I
looked on the web. So far as I know, the film was never censored
for being horrific - though it is. Just for this racist speech, which was
not a rant but very low key and ordinary. Most films never capture
the banality of real evil.
